Oldham Liberal Democrats fear that the latest ‘Places for Everyone’ plan continues to represent a real threat to our borough’s precious and irreplaceable green spaces.
Nine local government leaders - eight Labour and one Conservative - agreed to support the Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester in his call to create the new plan at a recent meeting of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
‘Places for Everyone’ will replace the failed Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) proposals which were scrapped late last year, after Stockport Liberal Democrat Councillors led the charge in voting against their Council being a party to the proposals.
