In 2010, the British government introduced austerity measures across the country.

Wigan, a borough in the north-west, was the third most affected local authority in England.

Council had to deal with substantial budget cuts and devise new ways to continue providing services and serving the community.

As a result, Wigan Council created The Deal, an informal agreement between the public sector, citizens, community groups and businesses to create a better borough.
