Please be aware that due to the weather conditions, as well as ongoing staff absences due to covid, some waste collections in Shaw and Crompton have not taken place today.
Therefore there are outstanding collections for:
Grey bin (refuse) waste
Green bin (food and garden) waste
Refuse is due to be collected tomorrow morning, Saturday 8th January
Food and garden waste is due to be collected Monday 10th January in the morning
Residents are advised that they should leave their bins out for collection and the council have said they will endeavour to return for them.
I have been informed by the Council that due to low staffing levels, as a result of positive Covid cases and other sickness related absences they have had to reduce the opening hours temporarily for Royton, Lees, Failsworth, Crompton and Uppermill libraries.
They will now close at 5pm on Mondays to Thursdays, instead of 7pm. The footfall in the evenings is extremely low and hope that this short term measure will not prove to be too much of an inconvenience for customers. They will review again in a few weeks and aim to have the hours fully reinstated by February.
All other libraries’ opening hours are unaffected and ensures we still have an evening offer across the network, especially Oldham where we are busiest .
Due to an increased number of Covid -19 cases within the workforce this morning the council have unfortunately had to drop one of the organic (food and garden) collection rounds which covers Shaw and Crompton.
The council will unfortunately not be returning for any missed green bins which are out for collection and that they will now endeavour to collect on their next scheduled collection day (Friday 31st December).
They apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
After several months of procedural delays, Boundary Park has again been listed as an Asset of Community Value, with Oldham Athletic Supporters Foundation getting it successfully added to the listings.
Local Liberal Democrat Councillor Sam Al-Hamdani, who has been working with the Foundation to get the status for the ground said: “It is a great relief for the listing to go through. It’s by no means perfect protection, but with the previous listing due to expire in the New Year even that protection has been under threat. It has taken several months of chasing to ensure that it has been renewed.”
The listing, which covers Boundary Park and the Little Wembley training ground, means that the owner cannot sell the ground without notifying the Council, and puts a set time period in place during which the Foundation would be able to bid for the ground. It does not, however, guarantee that the owners would have to sell it to the Foundation.
Councillor Al-Hamdani, who last week also successfully moved a motion to support the Football Supporters Association’s (FSA) Fair Game proposals, and the Government’s fan-led review, continued: “Boundary Park is something that people across the country associate with Oldham. The Latics are part of the community, and it is all too easy for owners to forget that without the fans, there is no club.
“I still want to see the Council do more – I believe there should be fan representation on the Safety Advisory Group which issues the safety certificate for the ground – in line with FSA recommendations, and that their minutes should be made public, as other councils do.
“Fans deserve more. They are the constant in a club’s life. The FSA have been saying this for years, and the Government’s fan-led review has backed them. I want to see Oldham Athletic hitting the headlines for the good that they could do, not because they are banning supporters from the stands.”
