Places for Everyone: A Plan to Protect Oldham
This week, Oldham Council will hold an extraordinary meeting to debate a motion from the opposition Liberal Democrats that seeks to tear up the Places for Everyone plan for new homes, jobs and sustainable growth. “𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧: 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝, 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜Continue reading “Places for Everyone: A Plan to Protect Oldham”
