Oldham Partnership Re-launch

It was fantastic to attend the re-launch of the Oldham Partnership today at the new Oldham Council offices in Spindles.

I discussed my new ministerial role in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, including what our new Labour government’s vision for local government and English devolution is, how this will shape the future for communities like Oldham, and what we have been doing so far to make that vision a reality.

Our new government wants every community across the country to be able to best position itself to capitalise on new opportunities and make use of its strengths and untapped potential.

Thank you for having me.
