Labour retain seat in by-election triggered after death of former council leader Jean Stretton
Labour has retained a stronghold council seat despite a robust Tory challenge in a by-election triggered by the death of a former town hall leader.
Ms Stretton had represented the ward for 19 years in two stretches of service, and been council leader for two years in 2016-18. “She’d been a councillor for a long time and she’d done a lot of work for people. There were people on the doorstep who were genuinely upset to find out.” “Hollinwood is one of the areas in Oldham that is going to be most affected and we were trying to push the message that there is help there.”
