Tackling the scourge of low quaility HMOs in Oldham

We back building good quality homes and strong communities. We need urgent action to tackle the scourge of low quality HMOs blighting our neighbourhoods. Greater power in the hands of local people and councils. It’s been a goldmine for landlords built on a race to the bottom. We need urgent action from government nationally onContinue reading “Tackling the scourge of low quaility HMOs in Oldham”

Enough is enough. The Tories have let this HMRC rate injustice run for years and hardworking people are paying the price …

Too many NHS staff, care workers, small-business owners and everyday people across Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton who use their own cars for work are being short-changed because HMRC’s rates haven’t been updated. It’s unfair, it’s outdated, and it needs fixing now. For 14 years the Tories failed to take action on mileage rates, withContinue reading “Enough is enough.

Building a stronger co-op movement across the country

Great to spend some time last week in Derby meeting Co-operative Party subscribing societies with Central Co-op.

A Section 60 order is now in place, giving officers additional ‘stop and search’ powers while enquiries continue, something I have long been supportive of toContinue reading “Serious incidents across Coldhurst & Chadderton”

Great news for Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton!

I’m really pleased to see up to £1 billion being pledged for community-owned green energy schemes across the UK, funding that could help local groups take control of renewable power, cut bills and build stronger, greener communities here at home. For too long our valued venues like sports grounds and community centres have been hammeredContinue reading “Great news for Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton!”

Statement on the Royal Oldham Hospital attack sentencing

This was a horrific attack on a nurse who went to work everyday for two decades to care for patients. The trauma goes beyond the serious injuries on that day, and my thoughts are with nurse Achamma Cherian, now thankfully back at work at The Royal Oldham Hospital. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/face-patient-who-left-nurse-33405148?fbclid=IwY2xjawP6sRRleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA81MTQ3NzE1NjkyMjgwNjEAAR6UkvUwcqhYhbDP3sI6DY9VtQxegj0QN_g4zfG-nDUFxh-4uPf-7q1tYUdt0Q_aem_EdXY179vmOJO5yYUVEuAAA
