The famous old Hare and Hounds pub in Oldham town centre was boarded up recently
Oldham West and Royton MP Jim McMahon has issued a warning that our communities will be left weaker if we do not protect local pubs.
Speaking about the issue over the weekend, the Oldham MP said: “Not all pubs have reopened, some may never welcome regulars again.
“Pub closures have been a running concern as many which lined main roads, served local estates and communities are lost for ever.
