About

Standish South is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, covering the southern portion of the Standish village area. The ward centres on the village green and the cluster of shops and services that sit close to it. Community facilities include a library, a secondary school and a number of small businesses serving local needs. Public transport links run into Wigan town centre and neighbouring settlements, providing regular bus services along the main corridors through the ward.

The area sits where suburban streets meet open land, with short lanes and field edges visible on the ward’s northern fringe. Recreational space is provided by playing fields and local sports clubs; a cricket ground next to the village green is used for weekend fixtures. A parish church and the war memorial on the green form a focal point for civic events and remembrance services, and small independent shops and cafés remain an everyday feature of the local centre.
