‘How much can you cram into one village?'
An ex-funeral parlour in a ‘quirky village’ in Oldham will now become a house of multiple occupancy - but neighbours aren't happy.
The first floor will now be converted into a self-contained one-bedroom flat and three undefined rooms. The upper floors will have five bedrooms with en-suites, two additional bedrooms, three communal bathrooms, two kitchens with one hob each, a shared dining and lounge area and a utilities room. One resident, who signed off as S Jeffery, said: “Bardsley has had a long-standing reputation as a close-knit, family based community. … In recent years, this community cohesion has begun to unravel, as young adults have been forced to leave the village, due to a shortage of suitable family accommodation in Bardsley.”
Noise and concerns about ‘anti-social behaviour’ from “transient residents” occupying the HMO were also listed as worries.
