The horsemeat scandal continues as beef products are still being removed from shelves three weeks after the scandal first emerged. A local butcher, Nikki Hamilton, says the scandal has increased trade at her store as customers prefer locally sourced meat where they can see what they are buying. The Pride in Oldham awards recently celebrated community achievements and highlighted those who go above and duty to help the community. The awards have grown in popularity since starting in 2002. Finally, Oldham Athletic fans say former manager Ian Dowie is the top choice to be appointed as the club's new manager.
