Great to join the team out in Busk area of Chadderton. We are growing volunteers who want to improve our town all the time. We picked up serious dumping taking place off Chancery Street which will need a plan to sort out, and hopefully we will have news to report soon.
The Labour council are doing great work and have pledged an additional £1.27m to clean up Oldham.
A ward by ward deep clean up, expected to start in September.
Five new street cleaners – Dandy cart operators – employed to pick up litter and waste.
Two new fly-tipping clearance crews – four staff in each team – who will remove dumped rubbish.
Five new Environmental Marshals who will carry out enforcement work and engage with communities on other issues.
Two new trucks to make sure street waste is picked up quicker.
Councillor Arooj Shah, Leader of Oldham Council, said: “Residents keep telling us they are sick of people fly-tipping, dumping waste and littering. That’s why when I took over as leader, I promised we would invest more money making sure our streets are clean, despite continued cuts to our budget.”
As Labour councillors and your local MP we don’t just want to say what’s needed to improve the town, we believe in rolling our sleeves up and getting involved.
Let’s all do our bit to help #loveoldham
