The council and its development partner are looking for residents' opinions on the new plans.
Long-awaited plans to transform Oldham town centre could soon become reality. Oldham council and city developers Muse today announced details of the revamp for five ‘key areas’.
Phil Mayall, a director at Muse, added: “We want Oldham to be a hub for successful local businesses, a destination characterised by quality homes, leisure and outdoor spaces, and a family-friendly place that reflects its heritage as a thriving northern town.” The neighbouring Manchester Chambers, near George Square, will be refurbished for commercial uses such as retail, cafes, gyms or restaurants, with offices on the upper floors.
The plans have a clear focus on housing but Muse have also put forward suggestions for the ‘retail core’ of the town. While the new Tommyfield market site in Spindles shopping centre is already underway, with traders due to relocate by Spring 2025, Henshaw House on Cheapside will house new shops and restaurants alongside a number of new homes.
