Area Networks

The Oldham Partnership utilises Oldham Council's area working arrangements - the six Area Networks - to provide a formal link between the Local Strategic Partnership and the democratic process available to local residents.

The six Area Networks are:

• Chadderton
• East Oldham
• Failsworth and Hollinwood
• Royton and Shaw
• Saddleworth and Lees
• West Oldham

An important feature of the Area Networks is the Area Committees. The Area Committees are made up of local ward councillors and co-opted members of the local community. They offer a forum for residents and representatives of community groups in the area to discuss, comment on, and question Councillors about decisions made and being proposed which affect the Area. Local citizens are co-opted from each Area Committee to represent the views of their area on the Oldham Partnership Steering Group.  Regular reports from the Oldham Partnership are taken to the Area Committees for scrutiny, feedback and comment.
