One of Wigan’s most iconic outdoor pursuits assets is now back in business - and it is booming!
Low Bank Ground, a place many Wiganers went to a school residential for a week in their youth kayaking, orienteering and mountain climbing, sits on the bank of Coniston Water in the Lake District. After re-opening in April 2022 under Wigan Council control, Low Bank Ground has continued to receive investment to address the backlog of repairs identified on handover from Brathay.
Over £300,000 of investment has been secured for further enhancements to diversify the offer for self-catering hire and larger groups alongside the essential investment to replace the jetty and repair and restore the boathouse, a Confident Council Scrutiny Committee meeting heard.
