COLLEGE plans linked to proposals for a new sports complex in Leigh are being discussed with the Minister for Further Education, Ivan Lewis.
Wigan Council Leader Peter Smith and MPs Andy Burnham, Ian McCartney and Neil Turner are scheduled to meet Mr Lewis tomorrow (Friday) at the Labour Party conference in Blackpool.
They will highlight the college aspect of the stadium plans and promote the case for both developments.
"It is another important piece of the jigsaw -- another good step forward," said Mr Burnham.
