Crime in Pemberton, Wigan

We have had an increase of retail crime in the Pemberton area.

We have increased patrols and working with retail establishments in regard to identifying those responsible for criminality and ensuring they are held to account for their actions.

The most recent Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meeting took place at Norley Hall Adventure Playground on the 2nd April 2026.

At this meeting discissions and consultation was had with yourselves ‘The Public’ and your locally elected officials. As a result of which, our main priority was identified as making you feel safe within the communities in which you live, by tackling four key issues within the Pemberton Ward…

-Knife Crime
-Business Crime (Shoplifting).
-Drug use and supply.
-Anti-social behaviour.
-Anti-social use of motor vehicles.

We will continue to monitor and update these priorities over the course of the next 3 months and following the next PACT meeting planned for July 2026.

Partners and Communities Together meetings (PACT) take place every 3-4 months and will be advertised on Bee in the Loop. These meetings are an opportunity for you to come and meet your local teams and raise any concerns in your neighbourhood.
