OL1-Oldham is active
within the BGreen areas of Oldham which cover:
St Mary’s, Coldhurst, Barker Street,
Egerton Street & Burnley Street
We have regular contact with our local service partners and discuss what each offers in the area. We then help people make the best use of those services.
Mission Statement:
OL1-Oldham - Not just another residents group!
‘OL1-Oldham works closely with many agencies to help local residents and the wider community understand how they can get the most from public services and together
help play their part in creating a healthy, safe, proud
and flourishing community’.
What do
the group do?
-
We freely support local people who are struggling with things that affect their lives and give them useful contact details to inform them of the help they can expect from each service.
-
We talk to local services about individual and collective problems local people tell us about and ask the services to actively assist with those problems.
-
We talk to local people about how each and every one of us can help to keep our areas clean, safe, healthy and happy. We inform our communities about the BGreen Community Agreements and actively encourage others to contribute, agree, and take part.
-
We meet regularly and welcome all residents of the BGreen and OL1 postcode areas.
-
Our meetings are held at places where everyone can feel comfortable talking about things
that concern or affect them, knowing that their concerns will be addressed.
-
We do this voluntarily, as good neighbours who are committed to caring for our community.
What is a community agreement?
A Community Agreement is an agreement designed and agreed by the residents and the providers of services in a certain area.
The service providers detail what they do, and how, where and when.
We, the residents, for our part have specific roles and responsibilities within our areas to help keep our communities clean, safe and healthy as well as being areas we can be proud to call home.
This includes helping and supporting each other.
What do the
agreements cover?
-
Keeping the area healthy and clean and reporting issues rather than just leaving them.
-
Help and advice with problems such as debt, ASB, health & wellbeing, isolation and heating etc.
-
Reporting crime in a way that is confidential.
-
Being good neighbours and promoting help for friends and family who may be finding
it hard to cope.
