Shaw and Crompton District Executive is inviting residents to have a say on local issues that matter to you.

On Tuesday, July 21 the first Shaw and Crompton Community Market Place is being held at the Lifelong Learning Centre, High Street, Shaw, OL2 8TB.

If you want to find out more about our community or share your views then come along from 6pm until 6.45pm.

You will be able to speak to your Shaw and Crompton councillors and the District Team plus representatives of Greater Manchester Police.

Officers from First Choice Home Oldham and The Guinness Partnership Housing Association will be on hand to answer any housing queries you may have and if you want to speak about public transport then representatives of First Bus will be present.

If you have any benefit issues then the Welfare Rights team might be able to assist and you can also hear about all the sport and leisure opportunities taking place through Oldham Community Leisure run and what is going on down at Mahdlo.

Councillor Diane Williamson, Chair of Shaw and Crompton District Executive, said: “This first market place is a great way for residents to get more help and information about the things that matter to them under one roof.

“If you have got something that you’d like to bring up with us then please come along on the night. We hope to have a couple of these type of events every year so that local councillors and partners can keep in touch with residents in a different way”
