'Oldham Council love to waste money': Residents react after Mumps plans axed AGAIN
Oldham residents have reacted with disappointment and resignation after a town centre regeneration scheme has been scrapped for the second time.
"Oldham Council just love to waste money," she told the M.E.N. "They keep planning things, and then they just fall though. Why do they do that?" Tina and Martin work in the Oldham Mumps area. They said they felt disappointed by the decision to scrap the plans as they hoped a cheap supermarket would be built in Oldham town centre.
"They keep changing their plans, don't they," he said. "I think even if it was just an express shop it would be good. This should be a hub, with people coming and going from the buses and trams." "It's one thing after another after another that never happens. Everything just gets worse in this town. Nothing ever gets better."
Coun Amanda Chadderton, Leader of the Council, said: “While we are obviously disappointed that the planned development with Lidl could not go ahead, this does give us the opportunity to look again at the best use of the Prince’s Gate site.
