Oldham Partnership Steering Group
The Steering Group is the inclusive, policy-making forum of the Oldham Partnership. It scrutinises the implementation of the Community Strategy and the Local Area Agreement, and makes recommendations to the Executive regarding policy development and performance management. The Steering Group also ensures that cross-cutting issues are being adequately addressed by the Oldham Partnership, and has a vital role to play in ensuring the transparency of partnership working in the Borough.
The Steering Group meet four times a year. Details of when and where these meetings are held along with copies of the minutes can be found by clicking the following link: Meeting dates, minutes and summary notes.
