Your FREE February printed edition of your Oldham Evening Chronicle is available now
Date published: 18 February 2022
Your February Chronicle is available from lunchtime today
The February edition of your local newspaper is out today.
You can find the free edition at sites across the town, and there is a full list below.
This month, the story of brave Tehyah Solan-Clark from Greenfield, who suffered a catastrophic brain injury leaving her unable to communicate and paralysed from the neck down. Friends and relatives are hoping to raise the money the family need for a new wheelchair and are looking for our help.
Read about the 'dad and lad' who have made it their mission to clean the streets with regular litter picks which transform parts of the town. Johnny and Ben can be found out in all weathers with their trusty gloves and black bin liners taking care of Park Bridge and Coal Pit Lane.
You'll love our photos from the archive this month. It's February - the month of love and romance - and you can see the changing styles, and changing fashions of weddings in Oldham over the years. You'll find pictures from big celebrity wedding in the 1950s, can you guess who?
Elsewhere, we look at the litany of problems that led to the Failsworth Group Practice being stripped of their NHS contract. It's a truly damning story of poor record keeping, low staff morale, problems with incoming telephone calls, and a £600,000 fraud offence.
Plus, our regular features on food, wine, books, and cycling, plus your regular Pit Your Wits Chronicle quiz.
