Clarksfield, Greater Manchester

Clarksfield is a suburban area of Oldham, in the Oldham district, in the county of Greater Manchester, England. It is east of Oldham town centre, and is close to the border of Lees.[1] In 2012, Clarksfield was found to have an even ratio of Pakistani to White ethnic individuals, unlike other areas within Oldham where one ethnicity was found to be more dominant than others.[2]

In 2016, an ONS study found Oldham to be the most deprived area in England.[3] Clarksfield was a chosen area for the Oldham Council alleygating scheme, as an effort to reduce domestic burglary and provide more safety and protection for those living in the area.[4]
