Oldham Mayor welcomes new development of 200 homes

Bishop Meadows, a development between Royton and Shaw by property firm Redrow, will eventually be home to more than 200 properties with five acres of green space and its own orchard.

Ahead of the official launch, new show homes were opened to the public by the mayor of Oldham, Cllr Elaine Garry, on April 15 to give potential prospective residents a taste of what is to come.
