I am informed there has been a vehicle breakdown and that the Council we has about an hour of outstanding refuse outstanding this evening, around Oak Street in Shaw and The Rises in High Crompton.
Residents are advised to leave out their bins as they will be back first thing in the morning to collect.
In April 1987 Shaw & Crompton Parish Council was formed.
30 years later, the 2016-2017 Chairman, Councillor Angie Farrell, decided to mark this event by having a display covering the last 30 years.
She asked her friends, former Chairmen and founder members of the Parish Council, Alan Griffiths (also a former Mayor of Oldham) and Brian Karran, to help her with this.
It was decided that the timing of the display would also coincide with the annual Family Weekend in June.
The items have been mainly provided by Alan and Brian, with additional material by former Chairmen, including Mike Hambley, Hazel Gloster and others, and give a fascinating picture of the early days of the Parish Council.
The display is in Crompton Library and will be there for the next two weeks, until Wednesday 5th July.
Fun and events for all ages and the whole family.
Please note Market Street will be closed during the day over the weekend and some additional parking restrictions will be in place to accommodate the Fair and other activities.
The Car Rally is on Sunday on Market Street and the drive round Shaw and Crompton takes place between 12noon and 1.00pm.
This event is marshalled and some minor disruption to traffic can be expected for short period at various junctions on the route.
If you see the ‘convoy’ give them a wave or a toot on your horn, which I am sure they will appreciate.
See the attached plan relating to the above: duchess street shaw – 26 june
As part of on-going drainage remedial work in the Duchess Street, Shaw area (Industrial area) it will be necessary to close part of Duchess Street for a period of 5 days from Monday 26 June.
As this length of Duchess Street is one way for traffic from Smallbrook Road to Cowie Street/Duchess Street junction, it will also be necessary to revoke the one way order to allow vehicles to access premises along Duchess Street.

Please be aware I have been informed that some small areas within Shaw and Crompton have not received food and garden waste today.
Residents are advised that a collection crew will be back to collect at some point tomorrow morning so residents should leave their containers out for collection tonight.
