St Mary’s residents light the way

by Ethos public relations

Residents in the St Mary’s area of Oldham got into the festive spirit this week by taking part in a lantern parade organised by social landlord Contour Homes, part of Symphony Housing Group.

The parade took place following a series of ‘lantern workshops’ held at Holy Cross Primary School and at the Contour Homes Community Hub on the new residential site which is being developed by Contour Homes on land owned by the council. Children had great fun creating their colourful lanterns to carry at the Parade.

Organiser of the event, Paul Brighouse, said: “With Christmas coming up we thought this would be a nice start to the festive season at St Mary’s - it’s also a great way of bringing the community together.

“This is one of a number of planned events at St Mary’s which will help to foster a sense of community and welcome new residents to the area.”

The parade was attended by 25 people including local residents, Holy Cross pupils and Contour Homes staff.
