Oldham Town Hall

[Stolly]

I’ve had the misfortune to work in many of these old town halls. Every one of them was frankly unfit for its modern purpose offering cramped office accomodation and making cabling for IT systems a nightmare with thick walls and asbestos ridden areas.

Why should we spend more taxpayers money on old buildings ? Local government is not some tourist attraction, it needs suitable facilities. If someone private developer wants to turn it into apartments or something else then good for them.

As for Churchill standing on the steps once, so what ? He stood on a lot of places and we aren’t going to save all of them.
