The consultation on warding arrangements for Oldham Council closed on 29 March 2021.

From 06 January to 29 March 2021, we are accepting opinions and comments (submissions) from the public on where you believe ward boundaries should be in Oldham Council.  

The Commission is minded to recommend that Oldham Council should have 60 councillors in the future. This is no change from the current number of councillors. 

The Commission now needs information from people and groups across Oldham to help it to produce new ward boundaries to accommodate 60 councillors.

• Letter to the Chief Executive of Oldham Council

As part of the initial stages of the review, we consulted with Oldham Council on the most appropriate number of councillors to be elected to the council in future.  

We received two submissions on council size: 

• Oldham Council
• Oldham Council Liberal Democrat Group 

The Commission is minded to recommend that 60 councillors should serve Oldham Council in the future. This is no change from the current number of councillors. 

The Boundary Committee for England (BCFE) began reviewing the electoral arrangements for Oldham on 14 May 2002.
