Please be aware that dates on the existing waste collection calendars run out at the end of August.

New calendars will be delivered to residents across the borough over the next two weeks.

This is standard practice each year, however, they have slightly changed the format of the calendars this year to include more information.

Ashworth Court Bin Shed Doors, Shaw Town Centre

bin-store-door

Your local Liberal Democrat Borough and Parish Councillors have finally after months of requests had First Choice Homes Oldham (FCHO) place temporary wooden doors on the bin sheds.

This has resulted in a drop in Anti-Social Behaviour in Shaw Town centre and less fly tipping in the area. The Oldham Council collection team are now removing less waste from the sheds.

The next step is to quickly work with FCHO to install permanent secure metal doors that will continue the positive effects of having new doors to which local residents have been extremely pleased with.

Avoid traffic chaos and Save Shaw Market

Market HS

Oldham Council has had another change of heart about the relocation of Shaw Market.

At first Labour wanted to move the Market onto the South side of Market Street that joins High Street. Now they want to move it to the North side of Market Street adjoining Rochdale Road.

“The latest news is that the Labour Council will press ahead with its plans, with the Market moving shortly – or that is what we think as no one will give us a straight answer,” stated Councillor Howard Sykes.

Your local Lib Dem Team are campaigning to leave the Market where it is.

We want to see the cash Labour has allocated for the move spent instead on revitalising Shaw Market on its existing site by replacing the fixed market stalls with pop-up stalls on Market Day (Thursday) and removing the perimeter units.

“This solution will not only remove the shelter that attracts youths intent on anti-social behaviour but also provide more free car-parking on non-Market Days, therefore contributing to the general vitality of Shaw’s District Centre,” said Councillor Sykes.

“In addition our proposal also prevents the traffic chaos that will happen when Market Street is closed forcing all vehicles, including HGVs and buses, to use Eastway,” he added.

Shaw Road, Shaw closure – road will re-open by Monday 10 Aug

Road-Closure-Icon1Good news!

Progress on this scheme has been a lot quicker than the contractor expected.

The initial end date for the work was expected to be mid/end of October, however, further to a site meeting last week I can now confirm the following:

The road closures at the junction of Blackshaw Lane / Shaw Road and Manchester Road / Princess Road will be removed and the road re-opened over the coming weekend (Sunday PM) as planned.

The temporary two way signals will then be back in place to complete those lengths that have not been completed yet and this work is expected to be completed by the end of August / beginning of September.

Princess Road will require closing for a further three weeks at its junction with Manchester Road from 17 August; however, the contractor has said that Manchester Road itself will be maintained as two way traffic as all connection work will take place entirely within Princess Road.
