Another of Jim McMahon’s regeneration projects bites the dust as plans for the new £27m Coliseum theatre in Oldham are scrapped by Oldham council. That makes his list of delivered town centre schemes (1) the Town Hall Cinema albeit £30 million over budget (2) The new Oldham sports centre. His list of failures are (1) Hotel Future (2) The QE hall conference centre (3) Our House (4) Prince’s Gate (5) The new Coliseum theatre. Here’s hoping one of the opposition politicians push to have disclosed just how much money they have already wasted including the £28,268 they spent with a branding firm changing the name from the The Oldham Coliseum Theatre to The Oldham Coliseum.
