00:12 Police were called by the ambulance service to report that a man had collapsed outside the next store at around 20 past 10 in the morning on Wednesday.
00:20 A man in his 30s was sadly pronounced dead at the scene despite the best efforts of emergency services.

00:37 A new department store consisting of Fraser's, Sports Direct, Evans Cycles and Game is set to open in November with the site having remained empty since May 2021.
00:47 Exciting new plans to transform a historic Wigan mill have been revealed with the new development set to include over 800 apartments, a 120 bed hotel and a roller rink.
00:58 Located just a stone's throw away from Wigan town centre, the Eckersley Mills complex off Swan Meadow Road was once a key part of the cotton revolution in the late 1800s and is now being redeveloped as part of a multi-million pound project.
