So any money made from entry or donations will be used also for the benefit of the community, by using it to take care of Crompton Moor.
This will be an open meeting for anyone to come along and find out more about the future of Crompton Moor.
FCM will start the meeting with a general / overall talk about Crompton Moor; followed by Manchester City of Trees and Moors for the Future; who will each explain their involvement and also provide more information about themselves.

Councillor Chris Gloster said, “I am truly humbled to have been re-elected as the Liberal Democrat Councillor to serve Shaw and Crompton. With over 50% of the vote in a five horse race it is clear that the voting public recognise the hard work, done all year round, that the Liberal Democrat team do for our community. “
“It was particularly satisfying to see how well Oldham Liberal Democrats did in Oldham Borough with two new councillors elected, Louie Hamblett in Crompton and Sam Al-Hamdani in Saddleworth West and Lees, sending a clear message to Oldham Council that the public do not believe their rhetoric about Greenbelt Land Grab, and are tired with them not listening to their views.”
