These details are quoted from this months ' Borough Life' magazine.

"The cost of the public sector facilities is around £40 million - around half the total cost of the scheme - which includes the cost of building Leigh East clubhouse, Leigh Harriers athletic track and stadium, the swimming pool & sports hall and the stadium itself plus infrastructure costs.

The council has directly funded approximately £16 million of this - with the help of Sport England (0.7m) and the North West Development Agency (£5m).

It also released a significant element of land at both Grasmere St (former home of Leigh East) and at Leigh Sports Village for private sector development through Greenbank Partnerships. Leigh Harriers also contributed £4 million through the sale of their Holden Rd site."

I think what actually tells the bigger story, is that Leigh Sports Village Co. is actually department 10 of Wigan Metropolitan Development Company Ltd.

some department somewhere or other has to be responsible as the LSV company seem unable to run itself example GMPolice properties are dealt with by Salford Council and wages dealt with by Trafford (or they were when I was in it)
