Alreet cockers? Hacker T. Dog has taken over the Borough Life podcast and it's safe to say that chaos ensued...

Before Hacker's Borough Life podcast debut, Rosie and James (or... Jim) chatted to Lucy and Mel who, alongside local residents, have been working on the name and identity for the Wigan town centre regeneration project - Fettlers.

The newest edition of the magazine - brimming with stories and community focused features - is out now and can be picked up in leisure centres, town halls, family hubs and other locations around the borough.
