Oldham is a place with a rich history, vibrant culture, and a wonderfully diverse population. Located in the heart of Greater Manchester, Oldham is proud of its industrial heritage and its strong working-class roots. 

Today, Oldham remains full of opportunities. Our population is younger than the national average, and our community is growing. Despite facing challenges like deprivation, we see these as opportunities for positive change. We are determined to break the cycle of generational inequalities and ensure everyone has access to opportunities. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths, inspiring creativity, innovation, and resilience. 

The people of Oldham have shown time and again that by coming together, we can achieve amazing things. Our strength lies in our unity, and through our diversity, we can create a more inclusive and welcoming future for everyone. 

Looking ahead, Oldham is a place full of opportunity. Our vision for the future is a place where everyone can thrive, with great education, good jobs, safe homes, and access to necessary services. We aim to build a greener, healthier borough focused on sustainability and well-being for all. 

Through the Oldham Plan, we are committed to tackling inequality and embracing opportunity. By working together and celebrating our diversity, Oldham can be a place where everyone can succeed and feel proud to call home.
