Scott started a topic in the Councillor’s Corner complaining that Telephone mast had been put up without permission. After a few pages worth of discussion with Steve Bashforth (mainly), Scott has now reported that there is now one less telephone mast in Royton.
Nice to see the Councillor’s Corner being put to good use.
Cllr Steve just posted the below email that he has received…
Dear Councillor,
A leaflet entitled “Cultural Exchange Scheme”, which purports to come from the Council, has been distributed to some households in Heyside. It’s designed to reinforce prejudice against Asian people and against the Council.
There was an Armed Robbery in Royton today. A female cashier had a gun held to her head. There is talk in the forums of us chipping in and buying her some flowers or some other gift to let the cashier know that we sympathise with the trauma she must have been put under. Click the link above for full details.

This just came in from Pete who sends me Homewatch Updates:
Oldham police and drugs services are using Bluetooth technology to gather information about drug dealers during ‘Tackling Drugs, Changing Lives week’ (19-24 May) to disrupt the supply of drugs in the area.
The Bluetooth transmitters will be sending out an animated message advising residents that police are tackling drugs in the area, and encouraging them to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if they have information about drug dealing in their area.
Carl Spiers has just been on the eRoyton forum to announce that the June 2008 issue of his very popular “Royton Rag” will be the very last issue printed.
The below quote is taken from the Carl Spiers / Royton Rag discussion topic (click that link to view the full story)
Says Carl:
Appreciate the comments, it is heartbreaking but inevitable, I was so proud that I reached so many Roytoners from all around the world, New Zealand, Australia, USA, Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany, Ireland and all over the Uk.
And more importantly made people smile, many of them being OAP’s, some in their 80’s & 90’s
Update
I’m currently discussing with Carl about the possibility of converting it to a digital distribution via eRoyton. Check on the progress at www.eroyton.co.uk/roytonrag
There was a Car thief loitering in Royton just after 2am last night. Thankfully, he was disturbed by one of our very own forum members who shouted out of the window at him.
Thanks to Bernard for posting the link in the forums. There is a Family Fun Day in Oldham this coming weekend (24th and 25th). You can view the poster for the event on the above page. I’ll be there getting my face painted (not) and doing all kinds of craft activities (not) whilst Julie refuses to take part in any of it (not).
I applaud Oldham Police for encouraging residents to Rat on a Rat. Nice to see some pro-active stuff going on to tackle drugs. Remeber folks, drug use leads to burglary. Grass that druggy!!
It has finally happened. My 3-wheeled adventure has picked up pace again. I am now the proud owner of a Reliant Rialto 3-wheeler.
We now have a tap room.
