Council service set to reopen next week

Oldham Civic Centre 'Access Oldham' closed due to health and safety reasons..

ACCESS Oldham will reopen in its usual location in the town centre next week following the completion of unplanned repair work.

The Oldham Council customer service centre was closed to the public and forced to relocate after a ceiling tile fell from the roof at the Civic Centre in November last year, leading to essential repair work being needed.

The facility was relocated to the Lees Suite within the Civic Centre.

Fencing was also erected outside the entrance of Access Oldham with pedestrian access to Cheapside Bus Station affected during repair work.

The fencing around the building will be removed this week with the bus station reopening in full shortly afterwards.

Access Oldham will reopen in its normal location on Cheapside on Monday. February 13.

A council spokesman said: "We thank residents for their patience while the building has been closed for repairs."
