REPAIR services to 25,000 council tenants are being revolutionised from Monday.

Tenants needing day to day repairs to their homes will have a greater choice of appointment slots, a wider range of tradesmen carrying

out the work, and different contractors will be at work in the east and west of the borough.

Tenants in the Leigh Homes area, which includes Leigh town centre, Westleigh, Higher Folds, Hag Fold, Atherton, Tyldesley, Platt Bridge, Golborne and Hindley, will be served by Leigh Building Services, Wigan Council's revamped Building Services department.

A major feature will be appointment times extended to include evenings and weekends, and include more trades, such as plastering.
