The former Weavers Answer in Shaw
A decision on controverisal plans to turn a pub into a homeless hostel has been delayed after councillors were told neighbours were ‘frightened’.
A majority of the members of Oldham’s planning committee voted to defer a decision on the proposals to convert the former Weavers Answer public house in Shaw.
Councillors raised concerns about the access point being located very close to a bus stop, and also the layout and management of the facility on Milnrow Road.
