Assembly hall delay
Date published: 02 August 2011
ENFORCEMENT action against the owner of Royton Assembly Hall has been delayed.
Oldham Council has been unable to service an injunction against Whispers Developments (UK) Ltd and Wasim Khan — believed to be on holiday in Pakistan.
The Manchester company purchased the loss-making building for £215,000 in 2002 but plans to turn it into a venue for functions have failed to materialise. It has already been fined £3,500 for failing to secure the site which has not been paid.
A county court application for damages and/or to force the company to clear the site was adjourned yesterday until next month.
