In Oldham, UK, council members have unanimously voted to demand a statutory public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in the town. Despite government reluctance, with ministers previously rejecting such a measure, Oldham's leaders insist that those in power must be held accountable. This local push for justice comes amidst broader national discussions on tackling grooming gangs. Councillors believe a thorough inquiry with full statutory powers is necessary to address these atrocities and provide a voice for survivors who felt sidelined in past reviews.
