October edition of your Oldham Evening Chronicle is out now

The latest print edition is out now

The latest printed edition of the Oldham Evening Chronicle is available now.

In the packed edition this month, a two-page preview of next month's Oldham's Big Bang as the annual bonfire and fireworks display returns to the town.  Plus, find out how one man has conquered a life of poverty in Oldham to learn more about struggles in the town by joining Oldham Poverty Truth Commission.

Meanwhile, we revisit some of Oldham's grotspots to see if the 'Don't Trash Oldham' message is getting through, with litter picking champion Ruth Major.  Read more in this month’s edition.

We’re sharing memories of summer 1975 in our latest issue, as we look back at pictures of the fashions, flares, and haircuts seen in Oldham town centre.  See if any of the pictures bring back any memories.

Read about how amputee Allan Albert of Fitton Hill has been left to wait almost TWO YEARS for adaptations to his house that have left him a prisoner in his own home

And see how Oldham gave a fitting send off to 'Billy Buck'

All this, and your regular columns in your Oldham Evening Chronicle which is out now.
