Police praise for council
Date published: 15 January 2010
POLICE are praising their good neighbour — Oldham Council — for helping them battle through the snow during the treacherous weather.
The Barn Street-based cops were helped by council staff across the road in West Street who loaned them six 4x4 First Response vehicles and their drivers.
The gesture helped officers to get to residents who would otherwise be impossible to reach.
Supt Stuart Goodwin said: “It has been great to see everyone in Oldham pulling together, and this is another example of this.
“Oldham’s community spirit has shone through during this challenging time and I would encourage residents to continue supporting each other.
“Take the time to look in on elderly and vulnerable neighbours to see if they have everything they need.”
