Multi-storey to be demolished

Hobson Street car park - to be demolished

OLDHAM Town Centre’s Hobson Street car park will be demolished and replaced with a new 100-space surface car park

The stricture has been closed since December 2014 following the discovery of serious structural defects.

High repair costs meant restoring the car park - built in 1969 - wasn’t a consideration. Councillors have accepted a tender to demolish the existing building and build the new surface car park.
