Oldham has been awarded £20 million for a project to create a groundbreaking new ‘green technology and innovation network’.
The government has granted the cash boost to the borough from its Levelling Up fund with the aim of boosting Oldham’s ambition to become a ‘top destination for green businesses’.
The borough is one of only three local authorities in Greater Manchester, along with Trafford and Wigan, awarded funding in this round of the fund.
