Wigton today is a prospering market community, with animals public auctions being held routinely at Hopes Auction Company. The major employer is Innovia Films. The town has its own high school, called The Nelson Thomlinson Institution, which is a well-performing detailed with close links to the Innovia factory. In 2004 the community was the initial negotiation in the UK to apply a curfew on teens under the age of 16. It remained in location for 2 weeks, as well as its purpose was to decrease the quantity of vandalism in the community centre. It followed every night criminal damage campaigns, which included smashed store fronts, in addition to intimidation of elderly members of the community. The time limit brought in national attention, with the neighborhood senior high school getting gos to from agencies such as Sky News. It had some impact, with less vandalism occurring ever since.
