Pick up your FREE copy of your Oldham Evening Chronicle

The latest printed edition of the Oldham Evening Chronicle is available now.

In the packed edition this month, a tribute to Oldham’s Matt Walls, who picked up the gold medal in Japan this month in cycling's gruelling omnium event.  See some inspiring pictures of Matt on his bike as a youngster, on the way to becoming an Olympic champion.

Meanwhile, there’s change at the top of Oldham Council, with an interim Chief Executive taking the reigns of the authority.  However, a local businessman says he can do the job “for half the salary”.  Read more in this month’s edition.

We’re sharing memories on the theme of ‘leisure’ in our latest edition, as we look back at pictures of Oldhamers heading to Blackpool, enjoying themselves on local fairs, and heading on holiday on a charabanc.  See if any of the rare pictures bring back any memories.

We have the latest on the ‘Don’t Trash Oldham’ campaign, including plans to clean up the town ward-by-ward, and the latest prosecutions in the battle against fly tipping and dumping.

And see pictures of the approved plans for the new-look Spindles Shopping Centre which have been announced by the council.

All this, and some exciting new columns in your Oldham Evening Chronicle which is out NOW.
