Coldhurst

Welcome to your Oldham Central Neighbourhood pages.

I am Inspector Kat Murray, and I have ownership of the neighbourhood policing for Alt, Holts, Hathershaw, Alexandra, Glodwick, St Mary’s, Oldham town centre, Westwood and Coldhurst.
I joined Greater Manchester Police over 20years ago, starting as a PCSO in Oldham. After 2years I joined as a Police officer, also based at Oldham. I have remained here ever since. I class Oldham as my second home.

I am extremely passionate about making Oldham a safe place to live, work and visit as is my team.

We are aware of the issues each community is facing and are working hard with our partners to resolve these issues. It is just as important to us as it is to you. However, we can’t do this alone. We have launched a service called Bee in the loop, which allows you to contact your local officer directly about the issues that are impacting you the most.

You can sign up at www.beeintheloop.co.uk

If you would prefer to speak to officer’s face to face, there is a list of upcoming meetings attached to the meeting and events tab.

You can contact me directly by emailing [email protected]
