Diggle School Pupils Take Learning Outdoors
Children at Diggle Primary School now have a new exciting space where they can take their lessons outside to learn a host of valuable life skills.
Diggle school which has two acres of green space blending into the local hills, a forest area, a wide range of outdoor equipment and around twenty chickens has now added a range of ‘Forest Equipment’, funded by the National Lottery.
The new resources not only benefit the school’s pupils but also the local nursery. Children are able
to watch wildlife in purpose built hides, tell stories around a firepit, build dens, climb across a rope bridge and learn outdoors in an all-weather classroom.
Diggle School’s successful bid to the National Lottery Fund will be used to benefit the community and raise awareness, understanding, of nature and the natural environment.
On Friday October 21st pupils showed off their new facilities at a special forest fun event 
by spending part of their day learning outside. They used natural materials to create artwork, build dens and problem solve.
Mrs. Sarah Newton, Diggle School headteacher, said, “We are blessed with a stunning location on the edge of open countryside and – regardless of whether it sunny or snowing – our children can now always go outside.
“They love their local environment and these new facilities are making our outdoor learning more exciting, fun and vibrant. Instead of being limited to pictures in books and websites, they can now put on their wellies, go into nature and experience real animals and habitats for themselves.
“The new facilities enhance this even further and are 
helping even the youngest children to learn about the value of teamwork. Shared experiences build vital skills such as resilience and responsibility, skills which we feel are of immense value for both school and community.
“We would like to thank Ground Design UK for doing a great job and the Big Lottery Fund for donating £10,000. Their generosity will have a major impact on learning for our current and future pupils.”
Diggle School is rated ‘Good’ by OFSTED and has 190 pupils aged four to eleven. The new facilities will also be used by the Diggle Dandelions children’s nursery.
Diggle children get planting for polio

Thousands of primary and secondary school pupils are planting purple crocus bulbs this week as part of a project by Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) to stamp out polio across the globe.
The Grow Your Own Crocus competition was launched by RIBI to help educate children about polio, a crippling disease that kills and paralyses young children. The purple crocus symbolises the purple dye that is painted on the little fingers of children to show they have been immunised.
Participating schools have received special Grow Your Own Crocus packs, paid for by their local Rotary clubs. The packs include purple crocus bulbs, compost, take home plastic pots, growing instructions, fundraising ideas and educational materials tailored to the national curriculum. Once the crocus bulbs have been planted,

pupils will look after them until they bloom in spring next year. The children will also be taking part in a RIBI national artwork competition on the theme, Ridding the World of Polio.
Nan McCreadie, President of RIBI said: “Initiatives like Grow Your Own Crocus are helping raise vital funds which will be used to help eradicate this disease once and for all. The project is a fantastic way for Rotary clubs to engage with school children and their parents about the work Rotarians do both in their local communities and around the world. It will also teach pupils about polio and the devastating impact it still has on children in affected countries.”
Rotary has been at the forefront of the fight to end polio since the 1980s when it helped launch the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. This year, every dollar raised for the End Polio Now campaign will go three times

as far thanks to the Make History Today campaign. The campaign was launched jointly by Rotary International and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and will match funds raised to a total of US$35 million per year until 2018.

Old Town Hall to open with a spectacular outdoor show
Upswing.jpg – Dazzling aerial silk performers who will be suspended from a crane high above the crowd
Oldham Council can reveal exciting plans for the Old Town Hall’s highly-anticipated public opening event – a unique free family show not to be missed.
‘On the Shoulders of Giants’ will be the most spectacular outdoor show ever hosted in the borough and people can enjoy it from the new public space at Parliament Square on the evening of Friday, October 21.
Written by Sarah Nelson, this is a showcase celebrating the rebirth of this iconic civic building – and the end of the town centre’s 30-year wait for a cinema.
The story takes its inspiration from a local legend, the Oldham Giant*, who will wake from his slumber in the crypts of Oldham Parish Church, opposite the Old Town Hall.
Oldham Arts Development has woven together spellbinding light projections from Illuminos, a six-metre tall illuminated giant puppet created by Handmade Parade, local actors and musicians – plus dazzling aerial silk performers from Upswing suspended from a crane high above the crowd – to make it a night to remember.
When a little Oldham girl befriends our gentle giant they take the audience on a journey together: passing through our town’s rich local heritage and getting a glimpse of the bright future ahead.
The fun and thrills continue after opening night with a full weekend of events in Parliament Square – including an array of live music, street performances and movie-themed entertainment – (October 22 and 23) offering something for all generations.
Jean Stretton, Oldham Council Leader, said: “The opening of the Old Town Hall is a massive moment for Oldham – so we were determined to deliver a very special family event.”
“We’ve worked hard to create a real spectacle with this show, the likes of which I don’t believe our town centre has never seen before, so that we can celebrate the restoration of the Old Town Hall as a symbol of civic pride with a show that is uniquely about Oldham.
“This will be a visually stunning experience with 3D projections onto the Old Town Hall’s front façade, a six-metre tall giant, aerial acrobatics, and performances from local actors.
“The story is being told by some very special local actors and guests** including Olivia Cooke and Mina Anwar, plus comedian Bobby Ball and musician Clint Boon. It also has a specially created music score from James Atherton of Oldham Theatre Workshop and a live solo performance from Oldham violinist Faz Shah.
“The story is about a small girl who, when raised on the shoulders of a giant, finds that she can see much further – and that she can also see a brighter future for herself and her town.
“This will capture and inspire your imagination when you see it brought to life – and I hope as many people as possible will come along to witness this amazing free show.”
The Old Town Hall opening event starts at 7.30pm on Friday, October 21 with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting event with Jim McMahon, Oldham West and Royton MP, before ‘On the Shoulders of Giants’ gets underway, running until around 8.15pm.
As some of the first ODEON guests then enter the building to watch a film, the Oldham Giant will continue strolling around Parliament Square with music and projections onto the Old Town Hall façade continuing until around 11pm.
The public are advised to arrive early for the opening event and use public transport, whenever possible.
If you’re visiting the Old Town Hall and park your car at Town Square shopping centre – accessed via Ascroft Street – you can get your ticket validated at the cinema or restaurants and pay £2 for up to a maximum four hour stay between 9am and 6pm. Parking there is free after 6pm until 3am when the car park closes. (Note – this offer does not apply to the Spindles car park).
There’s also up to three hours of free town centre parking on weekends at council-owned sites. Find out more at: www.oldham.gov.uk/parking
On Saturday, October 22, Parliament Square will host a Celebration of the Silver Screen event from 11am to 4pm with movie cars and themed performers, plus the best in local music.
‘Birth of the Boulevard’ then comes to the venue on Sunday as we relive the swinging sixties with special musical performances, plus the best in brass and street and local youth bands.

Volunteers get hands on to look after Diggle stretch of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal
VOLUNTEERS: (Back L to R) Phil Smith, Canal & River Trust, Liz O’Driscoll, Glenise Eason, Barbara Barnes; (Front L to R) George Brooks and Mark Brook.
By Aimee Belmore – August 24, 2016
DIGGLE COMMUNITY Association is working with The Canal and River Trust to help to look after the Diggle stretch of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.
VOLUNTEERS: (Back L to R) Phil Smith, Canal & River Trust, Liz O’Driscoll, Glenise Eason, Barbara Barnes; (Front L to R) George Brooks and Mark Brook.
This stretch of canal brings delight to many locals and visitors who marvel at its surroundings and unique flight of locks.
But with increasing popularity the canal requires an extra attention – so DCA volunteers are helping to make a difference.
The working group meets every two or three weeks and spends two hours, usually on a Saturday morning, maintaining the locks, picking litter and keeping towpaths accessible and clean.
Over the past few months the DCA volunteers have helped to remove 40 bags of rubbish, paint the Canal and River Trust cabin and rebuild a partly collapsed stone wall.
Mark Brooks DCA chair, said: “The next event is scheduled for Saturday, September 3 from 10:30am – 12:30pm.
“The session will be aimed at improving and making the towpath nearest the railway line more accessible and user friendly.
“As well as our regular litter picks this will be our on-going project for the next few months.
“Everyone is welcome to attend the sessions. Come and join the fun, meet new friends and help to look after a beautiful Saddleworth asset.”
Equipment, gloves and tuition is provided. Further information about getting involved can be obtained by emailing Mark Brooks: DCAChairman@gmail.com
Review of the 2016 Diggle Blues Festival
Tom Attah, Woolyknits (Photo: ©StuartColeman)
by Dave Wood
The weather for the 2016 Diggle Blues Festival was glorious. The festival was a huge success with large crowds attending every gig.
During the past 6 years, approximately 60 bands or artists have appeared at the festival, so, in tribute, we invited back just a few of the most popular acts for this retrospective 7th year.
Musicians appearing this year were; Big Joe Bone, Blue Swamp, Half Deaf Clatch, Blues Train, Soft Shoe Sam, John Otway, Bad Back Blues Band, BluzeBox, Tom Attah, Usual Suspects UK, Mike Sweeney & Paddy O’Hare with the Collective.
Musicians have told us that the Diggle Blues Festival has built a good reputation on the festival circuit. Word has spread widely and we currently get nearly 400 applications a year to fill just 11 spots. It has become quite prestigious to grab a spot at Diggle. Musicians tell us that they like playing to audiences who actually listen to the music (rather than just a boozy noisy crowd). They also like the fact that they get paid on the day and are not tied down by contracts.
Many visitors have commented that Diggle is a friendly festival and a lovely part of the world..
Having staged the festival for 7 years, I am hoping, next year, to step down and let someone else run the event. It’s been a great experience and I’m very pleased that it has become as successful as it has.
For information relating to the 2017 festival check the Diggle Blues Festival facebook page in January 2017.

Turnpike Challenge 2016
2015 Turnpike Challenge (Photo:© StuartColeman)
by John Stocker
The second Turnpike Challenge Charity Bike ride was again held on the morning of Father’s day, 19th June. The joint venture between Saddleworth Rotary and Saddleworth Clarion Cycle Club attracted 60 riders of all age groups including one energetic Rotarian – John Ainley. The weather was much kinder to the riders this year and all completed the 25 mile round trip over the tops of the Pennines. Chris Moreman, the event organiser commented that again he was very pleased with the turnout and is looking forward to running the event in 2017
The ride started and finished at the Diggle Band Club where the returning riders received welcoming hot drinks and a steaming plate of pie and peas provided by Jo Castle. Jon Stocker from Rotary said that the riders really appreciate the hot drinks and food when they finish the ride and also love the flapjacks at the half way feed station, which were kindly baked by the staff of North Ainley Solicitors.
The organisers would like to thank Paul Smith of Cycle Tech Oldham for giving his time to make any necessary repairs to the bicycles, the Rotarians and volunteers who stewarded and manned the feed station and the Clarion Cyclists who went round with the riders offering support and making sure no one got left behind. Last but not least, the riders that turned out with their hard earned cash to support the event, and in some cases had been organised enough to get some valuable sponsorship for their efforts. Special mention to Nigel Hill of Saddleworth Round Table/41 Club. With their help Rotary have raised over £750 for Prostate Cancer UK.

Three Weekly Waste Collection Approved by OMBC
Oldham Council’s Cabinet has approved proposals to change the way rubbish and recycling is collected across the borough. From October, bin collections will switch from a two-weekly to a three-weekly cycle – with food and garden collections remaining weekly.
The changes aim to improve the borough’s recycling rate by 12 per cent and reduce the amount spent on general rubbish disposal by as much as £3 million over the next two years. The new scheme will begin on October 3.
This simplified collection pattern will see grey bins for general rubbish collected one week; blue bins for paper and card the week after; and,brown bins for glass, plastics and tins the following week. Food and garden waste will still be collected on a weekly basis and this service will be rolled out to a small remaining number of rural properties that don’t currently have it.
The council is also providing residents with all of the recycling space they need for free. Households that don’t currently have recycling bins can order some and those with small recycling bins will be able to order larger ones.
Any residents not currently using the food waste service can order free food caddies to ensure they have everything they need to start recycling food waste ready for their new collections
Councillor Barbara Brownridge, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Co-operatives, said: “Due to government funding cuts over the last few years Oldham Council has had to change the way our frontline services work. These changes to our waste collection service are the latest but we are confident they will continue to provide value for money
“Over the next few years we want to see to our recycling rates increase so we don’t have to pay huge financial penalties. By cutting disposal costs we’ll be helping to save council tax payers’ money, which can be used on other essential public services.
“Over the next two years the council needs to make £37m worth of savings. Making these changes will help avoid further costs putting even more pressure on the Council’s budget. Doing nothing is not an option.
“We’d also like to remind residents that using their weekly collections for food waste and garden waste will eliminate the potential for bad smells and flies, particularly during warmer weather.”
Collection days will stay the same. For example, if a household’s bins are currently collected on a Monday this will continue after the change.
Packs with information about the changes and a recycling guide will be delivered to all households during July. Bin collection calendars specific to each area will be distributed to all residents in September to ensure people are ready and informed.
There a very small number of properties in the borough that will be affected slightly differently – namely flats with communal bins and rural areas. The council will communicate with these residents separately to ensure they are clear on how the changes affect them.
Details of the new service can also be found on the council website at www.oldham.gov.uk/waste or by calling 0161 770 6644

SDAG mount legal challenge against Saddleworth School planning applications
Save Diggle Action Group (SDAG) announced today that they are seeking a Judicial Review to stop the building of a new Saddleworth School in Diggle.
The group have, since failing to stop four planning applications from being passed by Oldham Council on 13th April 2016, been focused on raising funds to mount a legal challenge against the applications.
Cllr Keith Lucas, spokesperson for the group, has over the last fourteen days, with donations from people opposed to the building of the school in Diggle, raised over £30,000. “This show of support, he says, by residents in Saddleworth confims to us that our challenge is justified.
He added, “On 13 April Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council decided, once again, to ignore the views of the Saddleworth community. More than that, it chose to ignore its responsibilities as a planning authority and passed a scheme to build a new secondary school, in a wholly inappropriate location and without being able to demonstrate that it has secured safe or adequate highways infrastructure to support the project. In passing the application for the school in Diggle the Council failed to recognise its duty to prevent harm to a listed building, the greenbelt and rare wildlife protected by law.
“SDAG is now seeking Judicial Review in order to prevent what would be a catastrophic outcome for Saddleworth. We have always said we need a new school for Saddleworth; many of our supporters are the parents of children who are, or will be, attending this school. We are as angry and frustrated as everyone else that, because of the Council’s intransigence, we are still waiting for a new school, an alternative site exists, on which a new school could have been built by now: in Uppermill on the playing fields to the rear of the current school site. The Education Funding Agency said in 2014, that this was a viable site, it was OMBC who rejected it in favour of a land-swop worth £2.5 million.
“If the school is built in Diggle traffic congestion, dangerous tail-backs on to Standedge Road and a situation where children have to cross in front of traffic entering and leaving a busy drop-off and car-park will be the result. Narrow lanes out of Diggle and the centre of Dobcross will become ‘rat-runs’ for traffic seeking ways around the bottle-neck the Council have designed at the entrance to the village. Neither OMBC nor the contractors tasked with delivering the highways scheme for the new school have any clear idea of how these proposals could be made to work. We have to prevent this chaotic situation from blighting our villages.
“SDAG has therefore been forced to take legal action to prevent these damaging, destructive and dangerous proposals. We are a group of ordinary people and to take this step we have had to ask for financial support from the community. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the community but, even more, by their commitment to fight on and support our legal battle. If a Judge rules in our favour, OMBC will be forced to refuse the application to build in Diggle and apply to build the school where it should always have been, in Uppermill.”

Network-wide suspension of Metrolink services
All Metrolink tram services have been suspended while work continues to identify a communications fault.
The fault, which occurred at about 11.30am, means that the network control room staff are not able to monitor tram movements or access information displays.
The operator and contractors are currently working to identify the fault and no trams will run until further notice.
The Metrolink operator is also working with other operators to identify onward journey opportunities for passengers.
Anyone planning on using Metrolink is advised to use an alternative mode of transport, with arrangements being made for valid tickets and passes to be used on commercial bus services. Line by line information can be found on the Metrolink website – www.metrolink.co.uk.
Customers are advised to monitor the Metrolink and TfGM Twitter accounts or call customer relations staff on 0161 205 2000.
Metrolink Director, Peter Cushing, said: “All hands are to the pump and we are working a quickly as possible to identify and fix this fault.
“At the moment we are not clear on the cause and trams will not be operating until further notice.
“I’d like to apologise to all customers affected and want to reassure them that getting services up and running is our total priority alongside helping to get those currently onboard to their destination.”

Parish Chairman Tackles Burglary
Photo: Burglary by Nixelz
On Sunday 1st May, 10am – 4:00pm Saddleworth Parish Council and Greater Manchester Police Oldham Division are hosting a Security Exhibition at the Civic Hall, Lee Street, Uppermill, Saddleworth.
The event is open to everyone and free to enter.
Exhibitors include: Screwfix, Falcon Locks, COP, Chip & Trace, Park Electrical Supplies, Home Protection UK, P&R Fire and Security and Protec Security Group.
Organisers say all the exhibitors provide a wide range of security products for business, commercial and residential premises so there will be plenty of expert advice to cater for all requirements and budgets.
GMP will also be on hand to offer advice and to promote their Homewatch, Businesswatch and Pubwatch schemes.
The exhibition is the brainchild of Parish Council Chairman, Cllr. Neil Allsopp. Cllr. Allsopp, said, “The idea came at a recent public meeting called by Debbie Abrahams MP, following a severe increase in burglaries last February. At the time, the rise in criminal activity caused considerable alarm to Saddleworth business owners and residents. Although Saddleworth Parish Council doesn’t have the financial resources of GMP and OMBC, I felt by bringing the security industry, business owners and residents together under one roof. We could play our part in the fight against the criminals who target our tranquil villages. Also, help to remove this blight from the lives of the people who live and work in Saddleworth.”
