Leisure facilities include the acclaimed Coliseum theatre. Oldham's industry is very diversified nowadays and Seton Health Care is one of several major employers based in the town.
There is much modern residential development, particularly in the Royton and Shaw areas. The traditional stone-built villages of Saddleworth are highly prized by commuters, who make use of direct rail services to Manchester and Leeds.

Already good rail links will be enhanced by the construction of the Metrolink tram system to Oldham.
