A busy Oldham town centre road could be transformed with a multi-million pound scheme for improved walking and cycling routes and made greener with new planting.
Oldham council has been allocated £900,000 to develop detailed plans for how to make St Mary’s Way more accessible in the near future.
The authority says that currently the road is an ‘imposing’ dual carriageway that cuts through the edge of the town centre and has ‘poor’ pedestrian and cycle links.
