What's in Thursday's Chronicle

THE new Mayor of Oldham, Councillor John Hudson, says he plans to work hard to shake up the image of local politics by bringing people from across the borough to work together, regardless of party political affiliation.

We also report on the heart-warming story of how Royal Oldham Hospital staff are helping an elderly couple who both ended up in there with a broken hip within days of each other.

On the sporting front, there are suggestions that Latics pair Jose Baxter and Lee Croft are wanted by former boss Paul Dickov at Doncaster.

And we talk to Kyle Eastmond, the former St Anne's RL star on his rapid elevation to the England Rugby Union squad.

This and much more in tonight's Chronicle. Make sure you buy your copy or check out the eChron and iChron for laptops and mobile phones.
