Further calls for a public inquiry led by the government into grooming and child sexual exploitation in Oldham have been voted down.
The Failsworth Independent Group (FIP) tabled a motion at full council on Wednesday night calling on the chief executive to write to government ministers requesting a ‘fully independent and broad ranging’ public inquiry ‘as soon as is ‘practically possible’.
It was the same wording the group put forward in a motion in July, which was approved after being amended by the Labour administration to remove the section about a public inquiry.
