Shaw Road Alleygate Petition pdf icon PDF 115 KB

To note the position and agree the recommendation of the Petition Panel.

Minutes:

The District Executive was informed that a petition had been submitted by some of the residents of Shaw Road on 29th August 2018 (i.e.: Ref. 2018-15) to request the removal of the gates near the garage site. The petitioners believed that the gates should be removed or be set further back from the main road as they obstructed the sight of cars transiting in and out of the garage area.

 

A meeting had been held with the relevant ward members and officers. It was decided to complete a feasibility study to determine whether it would be possible to set the gates further back. It was also decided that the gates could not be removed because they were a deterrent against antisocial behaviours and crime. Following the completion of the feasibility study, it had been confirmed that the gates could be moved further back. Once the costing for the work were received, a consultation would take place with all residents of Shaw Road. It would be likely that the cost of the work would be sustained by Crompton Councillors. An update would be provided at the next meeting of the District Executive.

 

RESOLVED that:

1.     The content of the report be noted;

2.    An update be provided at the next meeting.

Shaw and Crompton Hub pdf icon PDF 130 KB

For the Shaw and Crompton District Executive to note the content and current status of the Shaw & Crompton Community Hub project.

 

Report to follow.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to a progress report of the Head of Strategic Assets and Facilities Management on the Shaw and Crompton Community Hub Project.

 

It was explained that in 2015 some funding had been made available by NHS England to improve existing primary care premises. Five projects had been put forward in Oldham. However, only two schemes were likely to be prioritised due the high number of bids received throughout Greater Manchester. The two schemes likely to be progressed were Shaw and Crompton Hub and Chadderton Alliance Hub.

 

The project in Shaw would consist in relocating two GP practices (i.e.:Oak Gables Partnership and The Village Practice) to Council owned buildings. The practices would lease accommodation from the Council. The Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) had explained that if the GP practices wanted to acquire a site, they would have to raise the funding as the capital grant would not fully cover the cost of the primary care part of the development or any other non GP practice area.

 

Currently, the CCG was in the process of appointing a consultant to undertake a business case for the project. It was expected that both schemes should be completed by March 2020.

 

RESOLVED that the content and current status of the Shaw and Crompton Community Hub project be noted.
