Hello @live_oldham ! Is the coffee morning at the Grill at no. 20 a drop-in event, or a 2 hour networking session?

I have been campaigning hard to raise money for a Judicial Review to stop the loss of a beloved area of countryside and wildlife habitat in Saddleworth. Our grim reality is that only a legal challenge will stop it. If you would like to help? e-mail Sarah on sov200club@gmail.com

Thornley brook @OldhamCouncil stated was dry in inaccurate misleading information to gain planning permission. It will be dry with thousands of tons of concrete on top. #stopthedevelopers #saveourvalleys @WoodlandTrust @Debbie_abrahams @saveShawsgbelt @OurRoyton @irwinmitchell

Risk assessment for #WhitFriday2020 - beware dried peas. Don't let any of them escape down your plug hole! They get stuck in the u-bend, start growing into healthy, climbing plants but block your sink :-(
