Leaders say that they have been ‘all talk and no action’ on regeneration but forthcoming concrete plans for Oldham will prove to be a ‘game changer’.

Planning permission has now been granted for the demolition of the TJ Hughes unit in the centre, which will be replaced by the new Tommyfield market.
Under the proposals, which are yet to be formally submitted, the old market on Henshaw Street will be demolished and replaced with housing.
Lidl has also now confirmed it intends to move forward with creating a foodstore at the Prince’s Gate site in Mumps.
