Wigan Council's planning committee has approved a £135m multi-media centre to boost the town centre.

The Multi Media Centre (MMC) will include a six screen, 700 seat cinema, multi-lane bowling alley, indoor mini golf, a climbing wall and wide range of other indoor leisure activities.

Located in the Galleries re-development site in Wigan town centre, the MMC will also include a public events space and a games arcade along with bar and restaurant establishments.

Cllr David Molyneux, leader of Wigan Council, said: ‘This is another really exciting milestone in the redevelopment of the Galleries.

‘The demolition works are well underway, and this planning permission sets out what we are planning to build, delivering an exciting and vibrant redevelopment in the heart of our town centre.

'This approval today sets out how this redevelopment will look and feel, bringing this inspiring future for our town centre to life.’
