Plans for more than 65 homes on land around Saddleworth School to go before councillors
manchestereveningnews.co.ukProposals for more than 65 homes on land around Saddleworth’s new high school are to go before councillors. The housing development would neighbour the new £27.5m Saddleworth School site, which opened in March last year.
