The borough has moved another step closer to realising its plans to transform the town centre.
A ‘wonderful’ plan to transform Oldham town centre has been approved by townhall bosses. The ‘ Oldham Town Centre Development Framework’ is a 15-year partnership between the council and city developers Muse set on bringing 2,000 homes to the town centre.
And cabinet member Abdul Jabbar voiced his support of the 'wonderful plan' to transform the town centre. Council-owned land across the town is earmarked for development, including Mumps, the Civic Centre and the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the old leisure centre, and the demolished Magistrates Court. Councillors also decided to include the development of Prince’s Gate at Mumps in the masterplan, currently in use as a car park. The land has been a sore spot for the council after several development projects - including two with M&S and Lidl - fell through.
