Labour and the Tories refused residents of Shevington to have a referendum.

At Wednesday night Full Council meeting of Wigan Council there was a vote whether to let residents of Shevington have a referendum, but both the Labour and the Tories voted against this. With that in mind that means that they both must agree with the massive hike in Parish Council Tax of 46.5% increase in this year increase.

Wigan Independent Councillor Debbie Fairhurst is continuing to fight for the resident to have their voice heard and to have a referendum.

I have made it a commitment too, if elected on to the Parish Council that I will fight and call for the Parish Council themselves to have a referendum.
