Purpose

Oldham Libraries have been successful in their
bid for £151,520 to refurbish Northmoor Library. The funding
will enable the creation of a community garden and education
programme as well as repairs and reconfiguration of the Portakabin
building to create extra space for events and activities by
introducing flexible furniture and increasing the number of PCs and
supplementary digital devices.
Match funding to the value of £17k in the financial year
2023/24 is required as part of the bid and this can be managed from
within the Heritage, Libraries and Arts Budget.
The report provides details of the project and requests that the
grant funding is accepted, and the project progressed.
