The Leader of the Liberal Democrat Opposition Group on Oldham Council, Councillor Howard Sykes MBE, has expressed his deep disappointment that work to transform Parliament Square is not yet complete.
Councillor Sykes remarked that: “Although we as politicians were all pleased to see the cinema opening, it is very disappointing that months later the work on improvement works to the square is still not complete.”
“My understanding was that this work was scheduled for completion by Christmas or very early in the New Year so I sorry to see that there is still much to do at the bottom end of the site.”
“We must only hope that the contractors are able to pull back the timetable and finish the work soon so that Parliament Square might finally become the high quality town centre focal point that we all wish for and not a building site.”
