Oldham Beyond is an inspirational vision, which is guiding the physical regeneration of the whole Borough up to 2020

The Vision

In July 2003, the Oldham Partnership (Oldham’s Local Strategic Partnership) and the Northwest Regional Development Agency appointed an international team of regeneration specialists, led by Urbed, to identify the Oldham Beyond vision.

The team undertook in-depth analysis and extensive consultation, which included talking to more than 2,000 residents in the ‘Thought Bubble’ (an inflatable room that toured the Borough). They then set out the vision in a series of reports that were produced in April 2004:

The Heart of Oldham (4.36Mb PDF) This focuses on Oldham Town Centre

The Oldham Net (4.26Mb PDF) This looks at seven projects in various parts of the Borough.

Some of the regeneration proposals within the vision are:

The vision was awarded for its ‘originality and innovation in regeneration’ by the Northwest Centre for Regeneration Excellence in its Exemplar Programme for 2004-2005.

Sustainable Community Strategy

The Sustainable Community Strategy identifies a long-term vision for improving Oldham’s economic, social and environmental wellbeing. Oldham Beyond is an important element in this document, demonstrating how physical regeneration supports the improvement of quality of life and services in the Borough.
