Not really, these towns are not going to stay in a Victorian time warp as much as some people think they should. A private developer needs to step in if its commercially viable, if not its not for Oldham taxpayers to pay for some obsolete building as if the town was a living museum.
The council owns this building, they had a duty of care to ensure that it was kept in a reasonable state of preservation, but they never sold it off or did anything with it. They just boarded it up and left it to rot....
why should pakistani’s take tax money for their or what they call their areas when we have beautiful British buildings what need repairing
instead of commmunity centres etc then spend the money on a peiove of history
trouble with the left loons is that they want to destroy anything to do with Britain as they are obsessed about their diversity
diversity which doesn’t work
