Oldham Council 2014-15 financial accounts are deliberately misleading the public about key social issues

In it’s latest set of filed accounts Oldham Council chooses to base it’s analysis of the social context of Oldham on the outdated 2011 census statistics which allows them to deliberately leave out of the document the financial and service impact consequences of a huge increase in Oldham in the numbers of poor, non-English speaking, unskilled EU2 migrants, asylum seekers and the rise in inter-council family relocation agreements with London boroughs that see’s Oldham occupy the Greater Manchester top spot for migrant percentage increases and birth rate. Oldham Labour Council once again choose to comment on increasing numbers of old people impacting on the demand for Council services but again fail to communicate that Oldham has fewer residents aged 65 and above than over three quarters of all other UK Parliamentary constituency areas.
