en.Wedoany.com Reported - Oldham Council is driving town regeneration through the £70 million SportsTown project and Northern Roots, the UK's largest eco-park spanning 160 acres of green space, aiming to create economic and social opportunities for residents.

Deputy Chief Executive Emma Barton and new Growth Director James Kington explained that the SportsTown project will create a multi-sports campus near Boundary Park stadium and the town's hospital. Kington described it as "a unique proposition combining health, education, and sport."

Northern Roots, as the UK's largest eco-park, will provide jobs in forestry, agriculture, and food sectors, while attracting visitors to this 160-acre urban park.

Both projects are part of the council's "Building a Better Oldham" initiative, which has invested £300 million in public funds for new town developments. Barton stated: "We're not just plonking shiny new boxes everywhere. We're creating opportunities for people and businesses to grow and thrive."
