In April 1987 Shaw & Crompton Parish Council was formed.

30 years later, the 2016-2017 Chairman, Councillor Angie Farrell, decided to mark this event by having a display covering the last 30 years.

She asked her friends, former Chairmen and founder members of the Parish Council, Alan Griffiths (also a former Mayor of Oldham) and Brian Karran, to help her with this.

It was decided that the timing of the display would also coincide with the annual Family Weekend in June.

The items have been mainly provided by Alan and Brian, with additional material by former Chairmen, including Mike Hambley, Hazel Gloster and others, and give a fascinating picture of the early days of the Parish Council.

The display is in Crompton Library and will be there for the next two weeks, until Wednesday 5th July.
