Your chance to help shape safer streets
Oldham Council is supporting the #SafeStreetsSaveLives campaign – and we want residents to get involved. Over the coming weeks and months, it’s going to be vital that people continue to social distance, especially as more people will be returning to work.
We want to see even more people walking and cycling.
So we can make this happen we’re being given up to £500,000 of funding by the Mayor of Greater Manchester to put measures in place so pedestrians and cyclists have more space and feel safer when travelling.
We’re already looking at several schemes and these include better access routes into schools and education centres and seeing if we can remove any potential blockages, including badly parked vehicles, on our streets so people find it easier to get about.
Road markings will be refreshed, and we’ll also be working closely with Transport for Greater Manchester so social distancing is observed on public transport.
We’ll also look to improve cycling and walking routes in and around Oldham as these will help people access facilities and travel to other boroughs.
We want also you to tell us about locations in your neighbourhood that may need changes making to them to help people get about safely. It’s really easy to get involved – just visit safestreetsoldham.commonplace.is and drop a pin on the map to comment about a specific location.
You can then share your thoughts with neighbours, family and friends via social media.
