Over 200 New Cinema & Restaurant Jobs In Oldham

The regeneration of Oldham’s former town hall is set to create over 200 cinema jobs and restaurant vacancies according to a new report.

A £36 million investment will see the town hall converted into a seven screen cinema complex with 800 seats, creating dozens of jobs at ODEON. The development also includes plans for six eateries at the regenerated site, which will boost the local economy further and create dozens more restaurant jobs for students and other people in the local area.

Oldham Town Hall was built in the early 1840s but fell into disuse in the 1990s. The case is now being put that the proposed Odeon cinema and restaurant project could attract more than 200,000 extra visits to the town centre each year and add over £5 million annually to the local economy of Oldham.

Oldham council leader, Jim McMahon, said that the Grade II Listed building was of huge importance to the people of Oldham, but that something needed to be done to preserve the future prosperity of the site.

Explaining the motives behind the regeneration project, Mr McMahon said:

“When Oldham was at its industrial peak the Old Town Hall was a statement of civic pride but in recent years it became a symbol of decline and a very serious financial liability. We strongly believe Oldham town centre can be the best in north east Manchester but you can’t achieve that if your key town centre building – our Old Town Hall with all its prominence and history – stays vacant and dilapidated.”

“This report shows why we believe this scheme represents a sound investment and one that will pay off in many years ahead for residents, business and visitors alike,” added Mr McMahon.

Do you fancy working part time in a local cinema or restaurant? If you enjoy the work then there’s no reason why you can’t work in the same job on a more full time basis during the summer, Christmas or Easter holidays, too.
