A partnership with a private developer for thousands of new town centre homes will bring ‘millions’ in investment to Oldham, leaders say.
Oldham’s cabinet has agreed to appoint a preferred bidder to become the authority’s private sector partner for an initial period of 15 years, with an option to extend for a further decade.
The partner – who has not yet been named publicly – will progress development of ‘strategic’ residential sites along with the council, to establish a housing market in the centre of Oldham.
