A contract with Lidl to deliver a food store and a 68-bed hotel on the Prince’s Gate site has now been formally terminated
Decade-long plans to regenerate Oldham Mumps with a new retail development have been axed – and council bosses say the site could now be used for housing instead.
However the terms of the contract meant that the entire project had to be delivered in full – and any variation posed the risk of a legal challenge. Coun Chadderton told councillors: “It’s come to light due to a number of factors, the war in Ukraine, the pandemic, Brexit and a number of other things that unfortunately Lidl are not able to fulfil that contract on the terms that we agreed when we entered into it.
“I think it’s also true that our aspiration for housing in the town centre is radically different than what it was nine years ago, and while it’s disappointing that this has happened, I think actually it gives us an opportunity to reflect on what is the best use of that site going forward and how can we utilise quite a key site.
She added the termination of the contract had not cost the council ‘millions of pounds’ and those suggestions were ‘wholly untrue’.
