Resident Dawn Woodward has had to create a temporary fencing solution with an old bed frame after waiting for six months for the council to replace the existing fencing, according to The Sentinel.
She told the news provider that the gap in the fence was being used by both children and animals.
"There has never been any trouble with the fencing until the high winds knocked it down," she told the paper.
Commenting on the failure of the council to improve the security fencing outside her home, Mrs Woodward added: "It feels like we are banging our heads against a brick wall."
Councillor Terry Follows claimed that temporary fencing solutions will prevent further problems until permanent security fencing has been installed.
Security fencing has been has been incorporated in a major project redesign in Wigan and will be used to protect the elderly from anti-social behaviour.
