Public get say in Oldham regeneration scheme

OLDHAM Council is launching a public consultation on its proposals for the flagship Prince’s Gate at Oldham Mumps development.

The regeneration scheme, which aims to transform the town centre’s eastern gateway with new shops, quality homes and jobs, was unveiled in November.

The phased development includes plans for up to 800 homes, including apartments, and around 700 parking spaces.

A new retail development delivering around 150,000 sq ft of new space in a glazed scheme – including a 51,000 sq ft Marks & Spencer food and clothing store – is central to the plans.

Now the public is being invited to a special ‘drop in’ consultation event taking place near the Oldham Mumps Metrolink stop.

The event is taking place at 17-19 Mumps (next to Kava Coffee Shop), Oldham, OL1 3TL. It is open to the public on Friday February 27 from 10am to 5pm, and on Saturday February 28m from 10am to 4pm.
