Miranda Meadowcroft
Green Party candidate for Royton South
Walking around the centre of Oldham is a different experience from just a few years ago. We have a cinema and a coffee shop culture now! But what difference have these changes made to people living here? Working in adult social care, I earn little more than the minimum wage. Like many of the people living in St Mary's, I don’t go to the cinema. And the minimum wage doesn’t buy much coffee. Our councillors need to look wider and deeper than shiny buildings. As a Green Party councillor I would bring a new perspective for the residents and workers in St Mary's.
