The newly formed 'People Against Cuts' group, which aims to forge a non-partisan alliance of local trades unionists and public service users across the borough, has called for a Wigan Town centre rally on Saturday 31st July (1.00pm start) to protest against the huge public spending cuts likely in Wigan Borough area over the next two years and beyond.
