A WIGAN councillor has quit because he is no longer able to juggle council business with his full time job.
Labour councillor Graham Lingings, who represents Hindsford ward covering parts of Atherton and Tyldesley, decided to end his civic duties after shift patterns in his civil service job changed.
Mr Lingings has represented Hindsford ward since 1999. Initially he stood for the Liberal Democrats but defected to Labour last year.
