A new CGI animation of the multi-million pound project shaping the future of Oldham town centre has been shared with the Local Democracy Reporting Service. The video, screened for the first time at the real estate conference UKREiff earlier this week, shows how several major developments could change the skyline of the borough.
A three-dimensional map outlines plans for four new building complexes that are a part of Oldham Council’s partnership with city-building consultants Muse. These are the current Civic Centre, due to be turned into a hotel and apartment complexes; the former magistrates court; Oldham’s former leisure centre and ‘Prince’s Gate’; an underused carpark in Mumps, all of which will be converted into housing and shops.
The animation shows new yellow and red-brick buildings between five and fifteen stories high.
