After a two-and-a-half hour meeting, a decision was made which could mould the future of both Oldham and Tameside.
Oldham council have agreed to plans for their CEO to take the reins at its crisis-ridden neighbours - despite some councillors' fears the borough will 'suffer'. Tameside Council has been rocked in recent weeks following a slew of resignations in light of a damning report to the government about the state of its children’s services.
“While my priority is and always will be Oldham, I also care about the children of Tameside. Oldham does not exist in a bubble. The boundaries between our boroughs are permeable, and people experience services across those boundaries.” 'Like if Pep managed City one day a week and United the rest' During the meeting on Thursday night, five amendments were put forward to the proposal, which meant the council went through six votes before the decision was made.
Councillors from the independent Oldham Group also requested the ‘timely recruitment of a permanent successor Chief Executive’. The officer, who has worked in local government for 40 years, will be taking over from Tameside Council Director of Resources, Ashley Hughes, who stepped in as a stop-gap CEO after the resignation of Sandra Stewart.
