Laneside Avenue

Following many months and years of pursuing various people at Oldham Council I am pleased to confirm the Highways Department have finally agreed to take action and undertake the much-needed repairs to the road surface (collection of patched potholes) of Laneside Avenue, Shaw by doing a much needed full resurface and not a so-called patch and mend.

Hopefully the work will be undertaken 16-18 August and during these dates access will be limited while the road is closed at certain times.

Laneside Avenue is just one of two streets in the whole of Shaw Ward that will get a full resurface this year 2023-2024.

The battle to get more highway and footway repairs and improvements continues. Many other streets need such works.

Liberal Democrats have consistently argued for more investment in the basics like footways and roads and have shown where the cash can be found to pay for it in our alternative budget proposals over many years.
