Takeaway plan for post office

FORMER Scouthead Post Office —takeaway plan

A FORMER post office could become one of Oldham’s remotest takeaways if planners agree.

The former Scouthead Post Office in Huddersfield Road closed last year, part of a cull of six local offices.

If approved, the plan would see the shop, at the junction of Higher Turf Lane, selling curries and kebabs, with a delivery service, from 4pm to midnight every night.

The applicant, Mr Arosh Ali from Shaw, says it will create six jobs.

Parking will be on the street, and planners say the main considerations will be the impact on the green belt, highway safety and the effect on near-by homes.
