Left-wing biased local newspaper The Oldham Chronicle recently chose to selectively print extracts from the Oldham Council press release about a £3.379 million grant from the the Heritage Lottery Fund & a £4 million donation from Norman Stoller which will make up around 50% of the funds required for the Oldham Heritage & Arts Centre. What they left out of the article was quotations from Norman Stoller that are frankly dilusional when judged against Oldham’s 21st century economic story. Mr Stollers standout quote is “I believe Oldham has a great future, particularly if we plan and work hard to attract newcomers who want to share in the benefits of being a part of the new Northern Powerhouse of Greater Manchester. ”
