Talk:Standish, Greater Manchester

Standish is Not a Village
A 'village' doesn't have three supermarkets, several pubs, restaurants, shops and banks and a large industrial estate. Not to mention thousands of houses on several large housing estates. A 'village' doesn't cover a greater area, or have a higher population than the City of London. (City of London = 1.2 sq miles / pop. = 9,500 -  Standish = 5.1 sq miles / pop. = 13,500)

Standish Township
Wigan MBC state -  "Wigan has ten townships”

The following is from a Wigan.gov.co.uk document "Township -   A sub area of the borough with a distinct local identity. Wigan has ten “townships”, township plans and forums are in place to identify and address local issues."

Standish is one of the ten. (According to Wigan Council) (and they should know)


 * Please learn to leave your signature after posts. Anyway you are incorrect, Wikipedia says that not the MBC. Wikipedia is referencing something that no longer exists on Wigan MBC website. I have done a search of the website, and also news and media and there are occasional references until around 2009 when it seems to largely disappear. In addition Standish is not presented as "one of the Townships" it is presented as part of a township formed by 3 areas of Aspull, Shevington and Standish comprised of a variety of wards. Do not misrepresent sources and / or find a source to support your assertions. Koncorde (talk) 19:16, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
