Oldham’s Liberal Democrats believe that proposed legislation currently going through Parliament would be much more effective if it included a commitment to establish an offenders’ register for those convicted of stalking or domestic violence.
Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Councillor Chris Gloster, a former police officer with 30 years’ experience, will be proposing a motion to the next meeting of Oldham Council (December 16) calling on the government to create this register as part of the Domestic Abuse Bill when it becomes law.

Ancient woodlands now only cover less of 3% of England’s landmass, yet the charity The Woodland Trust has estimated that 1,200 woodlands may be under threat.
Oldham Borough Liberal Democrat Councillors want to see Oldham Council at the forefront of the fight to protect our nation’s remaining irreplaceable legacy of ancient woodlands and ancient and veteran trees.
Saddleworth West and Lees Councillor Sam Al-Hamdani will be proposing a motion at the next full meeting of Oldham Council (December 16) calling for more protection for these trees.
