Amanda Chadderton is a British Labour politician and former leader of Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council.[1] Prior to becoming leader, she was the deputy leader and cabinet member with responsibilities for neighbourhoods.[2]
First elected to the council in 2012, she was the councillor for the Royton South ward. Chadderton was elected as council leader on 25 May 2022,[3] becoming the town's third leader in just over a year after her predecessor Arooj Shah lost her seat in that year's election after just one year in post.[4]
At the 2023 election Chadderton was defeated, becoming the third deposed leader in three sequential elections.[5]
