A presentation on District Planning was given by the Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Cooperatives, Councillor Brownridge, and the Cabinet Member for Performance and Corporate Governance, Councillor Shah.

The Corporate Plan and the Oldham Plan were outlined. These two documents contained the objectives and the aspirations for Oldham and the values and the behaviours that inspire the work of the Council and its partner organisations.
