A great day helping to tidy up Oldham (Coldhurst, Barker Street) and Chadderton (Stanley Road) as part of a wonderful community effort lead by local councillors and volunteers.
Determined to make every street clean and cared for. A big task but will make a huge difference.
There are now regular sessions across the borough and residents are encouraged to come along and get involved. I’ll get full details of sessions and post them as soon as I am able.
I’m really grateful to Oldham Council and ward councillors for showing leadership on this as much as the big strategic projects are important for the future of our town and our high street.
People have the right to know that the streets where they live are well cared for, tended to, and people can be proud of where they live.
It’s got to be a community effort, that’s why I’m so glad so many residents in Chadderton South joined us on Saturday, it’s important of course that we’re all out – but it’s about building a wider movement, and taking back control of the places where we live.
