As a local representative of the Phase 2 steering group, I am objecting to David Bartlett’s comments regarding the ongoing consultation phase with the Oldham-Rochdale pathfinder.

I recently spent three days on a course that has supplied me and my co-volunteers with the tools and concepts which are soon to be used at local level three-day workshops.

Any interested tenants or homeowners in the areas concerned can come along and take full part in the process.

Bartlett knows I am on the steering group. Why has neither he nor any member of his staff asked me or any of the other volunteers about the issues they have – it’s not as if our paths never cross?
