About

Crompton ward occupies the western edge of the Oldham borough, characterised by a mix of residential neighbourhoods and open green spaces. The area includes the communities of Shaw and Royton, with local commerce centred along main roads like Market Street. Housing consists largely of Victorian terraces and later suburban developments, reflecting the area's historical growth during the textile era.

The landscape is notably defined by the Crompton Moor uplands, offering walking trails and views across the region. This open access moorland provides a distinct rural contrast to the settled valleys below. The ward contains several local parks and sports facilities, with community life often focused around longstanding social clubs and annual local events.
