Failsworth Centre
'we
should be asking who is in charge of this project and demand answers'
Mr E Turner, via Email
'how typical of the
passive generation to mess this up'
Mrs V Winters, Failsworth
'give it time - Rome
wasn't built in a day. Also the old centre was so bad I can hardly tell
the difference between that and this building site'
Mr M Fairhurst, Failsworth
'the work hasn't
stopped - its just hasn't started yet, my understanding is that the work
recently completed was for the canal restorations'

It was a
daring vision, A top class marina and state of the art health centre was
the promise, exciting developments to come.
High hopes of a new heart
for Failsworth are rapidly slipping away as
Oldham Council
'forgets' us, the Failsworth and Hollinwood area committee were told.
Now the land which stands
baron has been abandoned by the site cabins, 'the builders move out and
the vandalism starts' one Ashton Road West resident said.
If we are to get the
heart put back into Failsworth then residents need to keep up the fight
- its no use moaning after the fact!
Can you imagine
Failsworth without its
Pole?
Well the
Pole would
be a distant memory if it had not been for the fighting spirit in
Failsworth at the time between 1950 - 1558 when the forth
Pole blew down.
The towns motto is 'true
worth never fails', and never before has it meant so much to the town as
now.
But in an age where
Failsworth gets forgotten by the
Council, perhaps for once true worth
might just fail!
