Oasis concert news
The Manchester rock band “Oasis” will be performing in Heaton Park on Thursday 4th, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June 2009 in probably the largest events the park has seen since the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1982, or possibly since I took a rowing boat out onto the lake in 2005.
Local residents are understandably very concerned about the impact of the concert on our local area. Your local councillors have already been involved in advanced planning for the event, which will look at all the local issues - buses, traffic, schools, noise, crime, litter etc. We want the events to be a success, but Prestwich people need to live with it too! I’m proud that Oasis are coming to Prestwich, and we’re all working hard to make sure that nothing untoward happens.
Manchester City Council (who own Heaton Park) are writing to residents who live near the park. As well as that, representatives of the concert organisers are coming to Prestwich Local Area Partnership shortly (see above), and there are two “surgeries” for people to find out more about arrangements for the concerts.
Tuesday, 5th May from15:00-19:00hrs at Heaton Park Bowls Complex (St Margaret’s Rd entrance)
Wednesday, 6th May from 15:00-19:00hrs at Parkside Training Centre (Sheepfoot Lane)
So if you wanst to find out more, now you can!
