School question time demands answers...

CONFUSION has broken out over public meetings over the future of Saddleworth School.

Saddleworth and Lees community associations organised a public question time and a few hours later, Saddleworth Parish Council revealed it was doing the same — three week earlier.

The community question time will be at Uppermill Civic Hall on October 16 (7.30pm).

The parish council’s public meeting, at the same venue and time, will be on September 25.

Oldham Council chiefs have already said work on building the new school will begin next Easter and open in autumn, 2015.
