Oldham Labour is building a better Oldham. We have 57 candidates standing in all 20 wards in Oldham because we are committed to every neighbourhood and community.
Vote Labour on Thursday 4th May to help us make every inch of our Borough the best it can be.
Since becoming elected, it's been great talking to residents about the things that matter to them.
These are just a small sample of some of the simpler casework carried out in Chadderton South in the last week.
Tomorrow will be about tackling the trickier items 👊🏻
"We have vulnerable people who have suffered great trauma and some of these people have locked this trauma away for the last two decades and this is all being reopened for them.
"We tread carefully, sensitively and professionally.
"This is an important day for the people of Greater Manchester and in particular those who have been impacted by these abhorrent and despicable crimes."
I'm honoured to have been re-elected as Mayor of Oldham and to serve as First Citizen for another 12 months. Thank you to all political parties who have placed their trust in me. I would like to say a special thank you to group leaders, colleagues and residents for your support
A super morning/afternoon with
