This plan shows how we’ll build a future where Oldham is recognized for its ambition, inclusiveness, and strength by focusing on three key goals:

  • Healthier, Happier Lives
  • A Great Place to Live
  • Green and Growing

By fostering innovation, investing in people, and supporting our communities, we’ll ensure Oldham remains a place where everyone can thrive. With strong leadership, commitment to our values, and ongoing improvement, we’re ready to adapt to the changes in local government.

We have four main focus areas, or "pillars," that will guide this plan and help us achieve our goals:

  • Efficiency and value for money - We’re committed to making the best use of our resources throughout the organization.
  • Capacity building - We will build strong infrastructure to meet our needs now and in the future.
  • Digital - We will use digital tools to improve services and make our organization more efficient.
  • Prevention and early help - We will actively work to reduce the need for our services by focusing on prevention and early support.

These pillars will be essential in making our plan a reality, helping Oldham lead the way in local government despite financial challenges.
