OLDHAM COUNCIL is to hold a special meeting of Full Council to consider the appointment of the next Council Leader.
Jim McMahon officially stepped down from the post on January 15, having held it since May 2011, after being elected as MP for Oldham West and Royton.
The Labour Group has since selected Councillor Jean Stretton as their new leader.
The ‘extraordinary’ meeting of Full Council will take place on Wednesday, January 27 at 6.30pm, asking members to consider nominations for Council Leader. The Leader can then appoint a Deputy Leader.
As this is a special meeting there will be no ‘Open Council’ session enabling residents to submit questions but the public can attend to observe proceedings and there is no need to book beforehand.
The meeting will also be streamed live on Oldham Council’s website at www.oldham.gov.uk
