The Mayor of Oldham, Councillor Ginny Alexander
The Mayor of Oldham, Cllr Ginny Alexander, made special reference to townsfolk who have faced tragedy in her Christmas message.
“This year has been a very traumatic time for many of us here in Oldham, and my heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones,” she said.
‘I would like to mention our elderly people, who are in care homes that have been isolated, and who are unable to have visits from their loved ones since March. This is truly heartbreaking.
“I would also like to give a thought to our children who have struggled with their education, as they have not been able to be with to their extended families and friends.
