SHAW RESIDENTS BEGIN RETURNING TO HOMES

Oldham Council is making final arrangements for some residents affected by the Shaw explosion to return to their homes this afternoon.

Most – but not all – residents with homes on Oak Street and Gordon Street are to be given access today as the first part of a phased process.

Many of these properties will still be without utility services at this stage.

Oldham Council is working closely with utilities firms to restore these as soon as possible.

Residents can collect items they wish to take away or, if they wish, reoccupy their homes.

If residents in these properties have already contacted Oldham Council with their details then a Housing Officer will be in touch with them shortly. They will arrange to meet residents and take them to their home.

Unless you are contacted to meet a Housing Officer, residents are asked not to approach the cordoned area as you will not be able to gain access.

If you are a resident wanting to access your home – but have not yet contacted Oldham Council direct – then you should either: Call 0161 770 7770 and give them your details; or visit the Rest Centre at Crompton House school today.
