King Street Still Closed Four Months Later | Manchester News
Description
King Street in Oldham remains shut down four months after a building collapse injured five people, with barriers still up due to unresolved safety issues at the neighboring property. The building’s owner blames the adjacent property’s owner for holding up clearance, citing missing paperwork needed to secure the site — and even offered mediation, which went unanswered. Local MP Jim McMahon is demanding answers and action, while Oldham Council says it’s pushing hard to resolve insurance and liability hurdles, using its authority to ensure public safety and minimize disruption. Residents are frustrated, but officials insist the priority is reopening the street safely — and they’re working to find a resolution.
