Wigan Council have been labelled politically biased by a Conservative chair after sending out a tweet referencing budget cuts.
The tweet, sent out on January 22, asked residents if they would pay 83p more in council tax to keep more GMP officers on the frontline. The tweet shared on Wigan Council’s official feed said: “Between 2011-2019, Government funding for @gmpolice was cut by £215m resulting in 2,000 fewer police officers.
“Would you pay an extra 83p a month to keep more GMP officers on the frontline, tackling crime and keeping communities safe?”
