OLDHAM Council has agreed a new partnership with Oldham Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) to provide free legal and advice services across the borough.

The arrangement is designed to make it easier for people to get free support on a wide range of issues.

Oldham CAB advisers now operate out of Lees Library, Uppermill Library, Chadderton Wellbeing Centre, Royton Library, Crompton Library, Limehurst Library, Failsworth Library, Fitton Hill Library and Holts Street Housing Office.

It is also still possible to speak to a member of staff from Oldham CAB by telephone by calling 0844 847 2638 or 0300 330 0650 from a mobile (Monday to Thursday 9.30am-4pm and Fridays 9.30am – 1pm).
