The Leader of the Liberal Democrat Opposition Group on Oldham Council, Councillor Howard Sykes MBE, has expressed his deep disappointment that work to transform Parliament Square is not yet complete.
Councillor Sykes remarked that: “Although we as politicians were all pleased to see the cinema opening, it is very disappointing that months later the work on improvement works to the square is still not complete.”
“My understanding was that this work was scheduled for completion by Christmas or very early in the New Year so I sorry to see that there is still much to do at the bottom end of the site.”
“We must only hope that the contractors are able to pull back the timetable and finish the work soon so that Parliament Square might finally become the high quality town centre focal point that we all wish for and not a building site.”
Tried to sign petition for new health centre in Shaw. Will not submit in Google.
Oldham has recently been declared the 3rd most deprived area in the UK.
How will this overdue project inspire me more than a tram journey through Oldham to Manchester through appalling areas of dereliction that you masterminded? I am ashamed to say I live in Oldham.
The cinema is excellent in my opinion and has brought me and my family into Oldham Town centre. Also able to do via public transport which is more than can be said for Rochdale or Ashton cinema. It is shame the project still needs to be finished off.
