Primrose centre up and running

PRIMROSE Bank now boasts a new community centre as part of the area’s multi-million pound makeover.

The centre will be a hub for residents and Oldhamers nearby to take health and fitness sessions, housing surgeries and IT drop-in sessions. A management committee of councillors and residents will be responsible for day-to-day operations.

Resident and management committee member Carol Taylor said: “I’ve lived on Primrose Bank since 1990 and I’m really pleased with all the improvements recently. The estate has a great community spirit and the new centre is a place where residents can come together, access services or take part in activities.”

The community centre forms part of the £113 million Gateways to Oldham PFI housing regeneration scheme which has brought new, affordable housing to four areas of the borough.
