It identifies priority schemes and projects that are deliverable, but their timing is dependent on the availability of resources. It is therefore a fluid document which will be used to lobby for transport improvements and support bids for funding and can be adjusted in line with resource availability. It aims to deliver a transport vision that: “By 2026, Rochdale Borough will have a safe, affordable, sustainable, reliable, accessible and integrated transport network that offers travel choice, serves its communities, tackles air quality and climate change, enhances social inclusion, public health and supports the regeneration of the local area” The strategy is critical in enabling the Council and its partners to achieve its, economic, social, regeneration and environmental objectives. It will primarily support, guide and be developed further through future Local Transport Plans (LTP) and the Local Development Framework (LDF). It will also support the delivery of other strategies and programmes, including the Community Strategy ‘Pride of Place 2‘, the Borough Masterplan, the Borough’s Economic Development, Infrastructure and Investment and Health Strategies. It also considers the impacts of “Building Schools for the Future” and the re-organisation of hospital services "Healthy Futures" both of which will heavily influence future travel patterns, as well as transport and network management policies in the North West Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS). This Transport Strategy: a) Links with different tiers of transport policy, and in particular, local, sub-regional and regional transport priorities including the Greater Manchester Strategy; b) Has both short term delivery priorities including those contributing to relevant local and national indicators and targets, as well as the long term strategic direction in developing the borough’s transport network; c) Sets out the Transport priorities for the borough to support the wider holistic aims and aspirations set out in the Community Strategy, Borough Masterplan and Local Development Framework (LDF); d) Identifies transport improvement proposals, informing future LTP programmes and the LDF; e) Provides a framework for developing and lobbying for proposals; and f) Presents a clear statement to the public and the Council’s transport partners of it's priorities and the timescale for delivering improvements to meet borough's future development needs. The Strategy has four underlying principles: 1. Supporting the Borough’s environment, sustainability and public health agenda. Transport emissions are a key contributor to climate change, so a priority for action to influence local travel choice, reduce demand on natural resource use, impact on air quality and carbon emissions / climate change. It will also contribute to improving people's health by offering more opportunities to change their travel behaviour and switch to more active and environmentally sustainable forms of transport; 2. Supporting the Borough’s strategic land-use objectives. The preparation of the LDF offers an opportunity to better integrate land-use and transport, focusing future employment, housing and other development where good access and connectivity can be provided; 3. Address public concerns, particularly residents and businesses experiencing increasing delay, congestion and reduced journey reliability in moving around the Borough. This undermines business efficiency, deters investment in the local economy and reduces quality of life for residents; and 4. Supporting regeneration. Deprived areas, communities and development opportunities are dependent upon high quality, reliable and affordable means of travel to jobs, health, education and other community facilities. Limited cross town and borough movements are a particular concern. Providing good ROCHDALE BOROUGH TRANSPORT STRATEGY, JUNE 2010 2 accessibility and transport links are integral elements of the Council’s Sustainable Communities Initiative and this strategy sets out the framework for transport initiatives that contribute to these. The strategy primarily aims to manage demand, the movement of goods and people and make better use and maximise operation of the existing transport network. It also encourages the use of contemporary and emerging information technology to transport information, reducing the need for physical travel particularly in areas of the network experience congestion. Opportunities to use transport information more efficiently through improved electronic communication will be exploited e.g. broadband, video-conferencing etc. introduction This strategy also provides a framework for more detailed proposals through the development of a series of Township transport plans, linking and forming part of Township plans. It aims to be an accessible document, One so does not contain detailed evidence to justify all the schemes in the action plan. This will be developed in future study reports and detailed technical documents supporting GMLTP3 and other bid submissions. The Challenge Whilst the borough has good transport links to the regional centre, is on the axis of two motorways - the M62/M60 and M66, has a good frequent rail link between the regional centre and West Yorkshire, the network does not meet the travel demands of local communities. The challenge is to provide an affordable, sustainable and effective transport network which serves local community needs by further enhancing strategic and cross-borough links to provide coherence, travel mode choice, connectivity and support regeneration of the local economy while tackling pollution and CO2 emissions from traffic. The implementation of the Council’s transport priorities will depend on close working relationships with partner agencies, transport providers and developers, taking opportunities arising from regeneration initiatives and both private and public investment. Section 2 of this document "Strategic Context", sets out the policy context at national, regional and local level. Section 3 outlines ‘The current situation in Rochdale Borough‘ and its traffic patterns, while Section 4 ‘Key Issues’ identifies those issues and other matters which the Strategy seeks to address. The ‘Vision’ articulates how the Strategy will transform the Borough’s transport system and the ‘Objectives’ for achieving it. Section 6 sets out the ‘Proposals’ listing the proposed schemes and projects linking them to the overall priorities for the Borough. The later section of the document outline the Resourcing and Funding options and presents an Action Plan to meet the Borough's accessibility and movement, needs and aspirations, preliminary cost estimates where available and potential delivery / funding partners.

  • 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.

  • Housing – a Critical Perspective. 08-09 April 2015
    Housing – A Critical Perspective. 08-09 April 2015 Abstract / Initial Proposal Form: 1. Paper / Proposal Title: Understanding the persistence of stalled residential housing development sites 2. Format: Written paper 3. Author(s) Name: Aisling McCourt and Professor Philip Brown 4. University or Company Affiliation: The University of Salford 5. Abstract (300 words): Announced in 2014, the Greater Manchester Devolution Agreement provides for a £300m Housing Fund affording new ways of unlocking the delivery of housing across Greater Manchester. Where national programmes have failed to deliver the additional housing necessary to meet housing demand in Greater Manchester, the Housing Fund is expected to provide the opportunity to invest in locally prioritised schemes and give the flexibility required to stimulate the market, accelerate growth and increase housing supply. As a result, there is now demand for Greater Manchester local authorities to identify housing schemes which can benefit from this investment and bring forward sites which have previously been held up. Drawing upon a study of stalled residential housing development sites in Tameside, Greater Manchester, this paper seeks to examine the persistence of stalled sites and to understand why schemes with planning approval have failed to progress. The research upon which this paper is based aimed to unpick the issues behind these delayed developments and also critically examine the criteria for determining whether a site is stalled. The evidence from Tameside suggests that small developers, with relatively modest stalled development units, rely on access to finance and improvements in the housing market for sites to progress. Through a mixed methods approach, including the analysis of local authority planning data and consultation with owners of a stalled site, the reasons for unimplemented planning permissions are explored.
