Introduction 1.1 The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out how the Council will engage with local communities, businesses and stakeholders in the preparation of planning policy documents and in the determination of planning applications within the borough. Why do we need a revised SCI? 1.2 In 2019 the Council adopted its Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). However there have been changes to planning legislation/policy and technological advances which have changed the way public consultation is carried out, which mean that this document now requires an update. In accordance with the relevant legislation, this revised SCI sets out how, when and with whom consultation will be carried out throughout the preparation of planning documents and in dealing with planning applications 1.3 In light of the Government’s current guidance to help combat the spread of coronavirus (COVID 19), the Council has undertaken a review of this SCI. As a result it has been necessary to make temporary amendments to the consultation methods contained in it to allow plan making to progress in line with guidance including requirements for social distancing and to stay at home and away from others. Along with these temporary changes, the Council is also proposing to remove its requirement to consult on future updates to SCIs. There is now no longer a requirement in legislation to consult on updates to an SCI which was confirmed in recent Government Guidance on plan making issued in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic 1.4 We hope to provide appropriate opportunities for engagement by consulting the community where we can, and increasing the ways in which information is made available. We will prepare all future planning documents and determine all planning applications in line with the procedures established by this statement. www.rochdale.gov.uk 1 Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) Draft July 2020 2. The purpose and principles of a Statement of Community Involvement The purpose of an SCI 2.1 The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out the consultation and engagement processes that will be used in preparing planning policy and in determining planning applications. 2.2 It explains the statutory requirements that the Council must meet at each stage and what other consultation or engagement processes can be undertaken.

  • Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough Council Submission on Council Size
    Electoral Review of Rochdale__________________________________________________________ Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough Council Submission on Council Size Introduction 1. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) has informed Rochdale Borough Council of its decision to carry out an Electoral Review of the Council size (number of elected Councillors) and the number of wards and ward boundaries for the Council. 1.1 Rochdale Council has not had an electoral review since 2003. It will have been 19 years since the current boundaries were set by the time this review’s recommendations are in place. The LGBCE believes this is a reasonable interpretation of Section 56 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009. 1.2 This review began in July 2019; any changes that are made in regards to council size and ward boundaries will come into effect for the local government elections in May 2022. 1.3 Section 56 states that electoral arrangements of a principal local authority’s area should be reviewed ‘from time to time’. The LGBCE will be reviewing all Greater Manchester boroughs that haven’t had a review since the programme began in the early 2000s. 1.4 At present there are wards with electoral imbalances across the borough of Rochdale; therefore providing an unfair representation at local government elections. In two wards the size of the electorate has a variance of greater than +/- 10% in comparison to the average (Kingsway 11% and West Middleton 14%) 1.5 This document is Rochdale Borough Council’s council size submission, which provides the LGBCE with the Council’s view on the appropriate council size and supporting evidence across the following three broad areas (as stated in the LGBCE guidance on council size for local authority elected members and staff): Governance and decision making – determining the role of councillors in decision making, and how work and responsibilities are distributed across the Council.

Those who share their views can be assured that we will use these to help develop and influence health and social care within the borough. As we start to work differently with all staff working from home for their safety and the safety of others, we are making much more use of technology, but also ensuring that those who are not able to use this are not forgotten. As Chair I want to thank our dedicated staff and volunteers for all their help and support over the past year, whether that has been as a Board member, an Enter & View representative, admin support in the office or helping at our events in the community. We have welcomed three new Board members this year, Rosemary Nunwick, Heather Harrisson and David Bradshaw as well as saying goodbye to Racheal Law and Taufeeq Rauf. As we move forward through 2020 it is inevitable that change will happen but, as Healthwatch Rochdale, we will work to make a difference for the residents of the borough in as positive a manner as possible.

The route would also connect into key public transport nodes on the A580 and Walden train station.
