No.10 North
It was good to join colleagues in No.10 North as we progress the next stage of devolution. We’ve almost completed devolution across the North of England with Cheshire and Warrington, and Cumbria due for their first mayoral elections next May, and my hope for Lancashire to develop a mayoral devolution agreement remains, at which pointContinue reading “No.10 North”
Affordable Homes Boost
This week we’re kickstarting our record £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme, supporting more than 70,000 new homes, with nearly two-thirds for genuinely affordable social rent – the biggest council housebuilding comeback in decades. This means £10 billion for councils, housing associations & other partners, with £529 million for Greater Manchester to deliver aroundContinue reading “Affordable Homes Boost”
Happy National Dog Day!
I’ve always had dogs around growing up and our house wouldn’t be the same without Alfie now. It was really distressing to hear from animal charities how many dogs are given up by their owners who aren’t able to afford to keep them, or who have been forced to move to a new rented homeContinue reading “Happy National Dog Day!”

The mess left on the football pitches as well as the litter onContinue reading “Another night another blast of fireworks late into the night causing distress and nuisance to local people”

The concerns raised by staff and patients deserve to be fully investigated, especially when they are supported by evidence of failures which have contributed to harm to patients. Like mostContinue reading “Concerns about the Northern Care Alliance & NHS services Oldham”
Tougher consequences for fly-tippers
Waste crime is blighting communities like ours. It feels like not a week goes by without household, commercial and builders’ waste being dumped across our roads, fields, parks and open spaces. Horrendous dumping has previously been reported along Crime Lane and continuing on to Stannybook Road, and continues to be reported by constituents in ChaddertonContinue reading “Tougher consequences for fly-tippers”
HMO proposal refused
It is encouraging to see this application refused by the planning committee and I hope it marks a turning point in the loss of family homes, inappropriate conversions, and substandard quality of design which does not reflect or respect the heritage of the town, or add much positive except profits for developers and landlords. ThanksContinue reading “HMO proposal refused”
