Cash strapped Oldham Council has just agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to a branding consultant to come up with new names for the Oldham Coliseum Theatre & the new heritage and arts centre, they came up with the imaginative names Oldham Coliseum & OMA all we can say is OMG. The last time Oldham Council had a branding exercise ten years ago they paid a ludicrous £100,000 for those turquoise and white concentric circles you see across all Oldham Council departments.
