Labour lose majority on Oldham Council

Labour – 27 Councillors

Liberal Democrats – 9 Councillors

Conservatives – 8 Councillors

Various so-called Independents – 16 Councillors

These have been tense and hard-fought local elections. This year, the Liberal Democrats suffered a setback at the ballot box (loss of 1 seat).  

Politics is a tough gig. I want to say thank you to Hazel Gloster (Lib Dem Shaw) who lost by just 50 votes, for her exemplary service to our Borough, Shaw and Crompton and our residents.  

Our councillors have worked hard and served our communities as only Liberal Democrat councillors can. 

I also want to thank everyone who put their trust in the Liberal Democrats at these elections across Oldham.  

We are the hardest working party in Oldham and we represent a fair deal for every corner of our Borough. We are still the largest group after Labour with nine and we will be back with more.
