Oldham Labour Council told they must release information about the Foxdenton development which they purposely withheld.

At a recent tribunal Oldham Labour Council were told via a unanimous vote that they must release information about the Foxdenton development which they purposely withheld. The Council are today appealing the decision citing a point of law as an excuse. It was only last year that Council leader Jim McMahon lauding the Councils democratic principles said “this kind of open transparent democracy is worth its weight in gold” What a pity his rhetoric does not match the reality of Oldham Council policy which sees information that affects the public both socially & financially being withheld on a regular basis.
