Saddleworth School concerns spelt out

A SADDLEWORTH parish councillor will address tonight’s full meeting of Oldham Council over issues surrounding the controversial siting of the new Saddleworth School.

Around 3,000 residents have signed a petition requesting the new £19.2 million school is built in Uppermill rather than Diggle.

Following publication of the the EFA’s feasibility report, the final decision rests with Oldham Council.

Councillor Mike Buckley has been invited to the meeting to explain to councillors the concerns of residents. Councillors will then have an opportunity to decide whether they wish to debate the request
