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.

The ward contains several local parks and sports facilities, with community life often focused around longstanding social clubs and annual local events.
