The former Integrated Youth Centre in Royton. It will go up for auction on 21st April 2016.

AN unused youth centre in Royton will go to auction on Thursday.

The youth centre was deemed surplus to Oldham Council requirements and was closed in September.

Previous attempts to sell it failed but it is hoped the auction will bring the centre back into use rather than leaving it standing empty.

In its heyday, the youth centre would host gatherings such as Hallowe’en parties, community meetings and be a place where youths could play pool, take part in youth club games and workshops.
