You will be aware that Travellers entered High Crompton Park earlier this week.

They now have gone; our priorities are now to reinstate the land back to how it was and carry out repairs to the gate near The North Star car park – We will be looking at getting a more secure gate such as the one at New Barn Playing Fields which was funded some time ago by Liberal Democrat Councillors using ward funds. (see picture).

In addition, we will be looking at other Council owned facilities in High Crompton, Shaw and Royton where travellers could enter with a view to securing them too.

Oldham Council Officers attended earlier this week and your Crompton Cllrs Diane Williamson, Louie Hamblett and Dave Murphy will be working with them to get the park looking as it should.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who reported the issue to councillors, Oldham Council and the Police.
