Wigan is statistically the safest area of Greater Manchester however being part of a large city region it has areas best to be avoided. The Norley Hall, Marsh Green and Worsley Hall estates in the west of the town can be intimidating with alot of youth trouble. Similarly areas east such as Ince, Scholes, Hag Fold, Higher Folds and Platt Bridge are also known as hotspots for trouble in the Wigan area. The safest areas to be are the likes of Orrell, Lowton, Tyldesley, Hindley Green & Standish. The town centre is also safe with high police profile from Greater Manchester Police GMP at weekends as well as CCTV.
