Which department/officer of Wigan council was responsible for directing the Sky News Kay Burley in Wigan team to visit Leigh Market instead of the previously advertised visit to Wigan Market?

Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council,

Who within Wigan Council directed Sky News Kay Burley in Wigan to visit Leigh Market instead of the advertised visit to Wigan Market Traders?
Why was this last minute switch made?

Yours faithfully,

Friends of Wigan Town Centre.
