That’s a good question, Naughty Mitten, we’ve not had a copy for years.

media.info says it is still around:

A weekly freesheet, The Wigan Reporter comes out every Friday, and is delivered to homes in Wigan, Skelmersdale, Hindley and Ashton-in-Markerfield.

I live in Ashton in Makerfield (not Markerfield) and I've not had a Wigan Reporter delivered for over well 20 years.  And why should Wigan Reporter get delivered to anywhere other than Wigan?  

Skelmersdale?   Rolling Eyes

I'm not complaining. It'd only go straight in the blue bin like all the other free rubbish that comes when it shouldn't!

Whoops, I should’ve checked Wiki first - Link Embarassed Very Happy

The Wigan Reporter was a freesheet weekly paper delivered in the Wigan area. It was founded in 1978. It ceased publication in February 2017 with many of its supplements being incorporated into the Post instead. www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk
