Standing in front of a construction fence on one of Oldham’s busiest thoroughfares one woman's voice is shaking with emotion.“It’s like George Orwell’s 1984. We’re all being threatened, watched, fined, on camera everywhere, when people are crying out for help, support.”Chanel, 46, is on her break from her job in a cafe nearby. She cares for several people in her local community, alongside her autistic son.
