The Liberal Democrats represent the only effective opposition to Labour on Oldham Council.  Unlike the Conservatives, we speak out on the issues that our electors care about in Full Council and we fight for what our communities want.

• We are opposed to Labour’s plan to build homes on the Green Belt.  
• We are opposed to a giant incinerator in Royton.  
• And we are opposed to Labour spending £68 million of Council Taxpayers hard-earned money on ‘Spendles’.

We want to see a Healthier, Greener and Cleaner Oldham Borough.

This year in our latest annual budget proposals, we found the money to invest

• in three new health centres for Shaw and Crompton, Saddleworth, and Chadderton;
• in energy efficiency measures;
• to improve footpaths; and to tackle speeding, anti-social behaviour, fly-tipping and dog-fouling.

As usual the Conservatives offered no alternative to Labour and failed to support our proposals.

The Liberal Democrats have a straightforward philosophy – to be a voice for the voters we represent and the communities we serve in Crompton, Shaw, Royton, Saddleworth and Lees.

To deliver the best value-for-money services that we can for Council Taxpayers, and to cut Civic Centre bureaucracy and waste to make money available for frontline services and lower Council Tax bills.
