Police have launched an investigation after reports a woman was injured at Oldham council’s headquarters. Greater Manchester Police has confirmed officers were called over an incident inside the Civic Centre on West Street at around 5.50pm on Wednesday night.
A number of residents have been banned by the local authority from attending public meetings for 12 months following ‘disruption’ at full council meetings in June and July. The latest incident occurred during a meeting of the full council on November 2 which had begun just after 5.30pm.
A video posted on social media from inside the Civic Centre alleged that people were not being allowed entry to the meeting, and that two people, a man and a woman, had been assaulted.
