Wigan Council is hosting a roundtable exploring how local authorities can play a catalytic role in stimulating the housing market and accelerating delivery to meet ambitious housing targets. The session will spotlight how strategic council investment in enabling infrastructure, innovative delivery models, joint ventures, and the intelligent disposal or packaging of council-owned sites can unlock stalled developments and create conditions for long term, sustainable growth. Drawing on Wigan’s own proactive approach, the discussion will highlight how councils can leverage their assets, partnerships, and planning powers to de-risk sites, attract private investment, and build resilient local housing markets that deliver for communities.
