Shaw and Crompton consultation meeting for FCHO tenants re service charges
Tenants will have received a letter inviting them to a consultation meeting about proposed service charges.
Your local Liberal Democrat Councillors made representations that there was no meeting in Shaw/Crompton.
We are now pleased to report, following our intervention, that a Shaw service charge consultation will be held on 3rd August 2.00 – 5.00pm at the Shaw Children’s Centre, High Street, Shaw.
Hopefully you should be getting written confirmation of this directly.

Historic England have decided that the Jubilee Pub will not be listed
27 June 2016
Mrs Karen Heverin, Conservation Officer, Oldham Council
Dear Karen Heverin,
PLANNING (LISTED BUILDINGS AND CONSERVATION AREAS) ACT 1990 BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST
Jubilee Inn, Milnrow Road, Shaw, Oldham
As you will know from our earlier letters we have been considering adding the above building to the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest.
We have taken into account all the representations made and completed our assessment of the building. Having considered our recommendation, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport has decided not to add The Jubilee Inn, Milnrow Road, Shaw, Oldham to the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest.
Please follow the link below to download a copy of our advice report, prepared for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which gives the principal reasons for this decision. The annex of this report will be published on our Heritage Gateway website in order to provide clarity about the building’s designation status. The website makes it clear that the buildings and sites included on the Heritage Gateway are mostly privately owned and are not open to the public.
If you consider that this decision has been wrongly made you may contact the DCMS within 28 days of the date of this letter to request that the Secretary of State review the decision. An example of a decision made wrongly would be where there was a factual error or an irregularity in the process which affected the outcome. You may also ask the Secretary of State to review the decision if you have any significant evidence relating to the special architectural or historic interest of the building which was not previously considered. Further details of the review criteria and process and how to request a review are contained in the annex to this letter.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance. More information can also be found on our website at www.historicengland.org.uk.
Yours sincerely

Oldham Liberal Democrats voice concerns over changes to waste collection to three weeks
We believe that the devil will be in the detail with these proposals.
I am sure that we are not the only ones thinking that this is going to affect service across the whole Borough.
Already in Shaw and Crompton, because our collection day is a Friday, we are more often than not getting missed roads because there just is not enough time to finish the rounds off. This means coming back on Saturday mornings. What will happen to other areas?
- How is the service going to manage in bad weather?
- How is the service going to manage the bank holiday collections?
- What will happen with the excesses of general waste and recycling around Christmas and New Year?
Residents expect the Council to get the basics right and this is most definitely one of the basics that can cause them problems if it is not right.
We understand that there are going to be some difficult choices to make but we need to learn the lessons from other boroughs that have gone to three weekly – it has not worked well.
As a responsible opposition we will hold the Administration to account and will be seeking reassurances that the residents are not left without a functioning service and that the Borough does not become ridden with fly-tipping.
