SADDLEWORTH Parish Council has shown its support for the area's thriving peace movement by signing the Pledge to Peace.
The Pledge, which is administered by the Percorsi Peace Association in Italy, has been signed by organisations and individuals worldwide, reflecting their commitment to peace.
It commits the council to working with other organisations across the area and the world to ensure that it stands up for peace.
The signed Pledge was returned to the Percorsi Association to mark the District's commitment.
The Parish joins Oldham Borough Council and Shaw & Crompton Parish Council as signatories of the Pledge, making it the only borough in the country where all levels of council have signed the commitment.
More than fifty local and regional organisations have signed the Pledge and joined the Oldham Pledge to Peace Forum. Local organisations include the Saddleworth Peace Group; Saddleworth School; St Chads Primary School, Uppermill; St Mary's School, Greenfield; St Anne's Primary School, Lydgate; and Knowsley Junior School, Springhead.
