The Basics:
As You Can See From The Table Above, Crime Is Not A Major Problem in Platt Bridge, Like How Obesity Isn't A Major Problem In America. And I'm Sure You Can Work Out What It Means By Complaints Resolved Informally!

Platt Bridge Is Situated About 2 Miles From Wigan Town Centre Down The A573.

Platt Bridge Is Also Lovingly Called Platt Waz Because In the Olden Days Train Drivers Used To Get Off At The Bridge (Platt Bridge Bridge) To Have A Wee. Since McDonalds Tentatively Opened A Drive-Thru Branch In Platt Bridge We Have Gained The Slightly Higher Class Nick Name- Platt Vegas.

Out And About:
Well There's A Kwik Save, A Post Office, A Play Park (Don't Dig To Deep In The Sand Pit), A Picturesque Canal (The Perfect Dumping Ground), A Delightfully Run Down Council Estate And Don't Forget The Milner Wheelchair Centre!

Nestled Up Against The Leeds Liverpool Canal, With Ince Moss (Amberswood As It's Now Known) To The North Keeping Us Distanced From Ince & Hindley And Vast Expanses Of Nothingness Between Us And Leigh You Could Be Mistaken For Thinking Platt Bridge Was Out In The Open Countryside. But Obviously The Only Reason Platt Bridge Is Blessed With So Much Surrounding Greenery Is Due To The Hundreds And Hundreds Of Pits, Shafts And Other Old Mine Workings Which Mean Anything Heavier Than A Man Walking His Terrier Will Make The Land Cave In Forming A Crater Of Such Devastation It Would Make Yorkshire Look Like The Maldives. Alternatively Planners Might Just Be Too Scared To Build Anymore Houses Near Platt Bridge.

There Is Actually A Decent Part Of Platt Bridge And That's Where I Am Now, Typing This- And Listening To Gunfire And Sirens Outside.

Things To Do:
It Might Bugger Believe But There Is A Bowling Green In Platt Bridge. There Are Some Housing Developments. There's A Canal To Throw Stuff From The Building Site Into.
To Be Honest There Isn't Actually Anything To Do In Platt Bridge Which Might Explain All The Crime And Drugs And All That Kinda Stuff.. But Despite All This Most People Round These Parts Are Still Actually Very Friendly! As They Are Throughout Wigan And The North.
