LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN Sir Nicholas Morrison KGB DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr J M Rankin QC MEMBERS Lady Bowden Mr J T Brockbank Mr R R Thornton CB DL Mr D P Harrison PH To the Rt Hon Merlyn Rees, MP Secretary of State for the Home Department PROPOSALS FOR REVISED ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF ROCHDALE 1. We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, having carried out our initial review of the electoral arrangements for the metropolitan borough of Rochdale in accordance with the requirements of section 63 of, and Schedule 9 to, the Local Government Act 1972, present our proposals for the future electoral arrangements for that borough. 2. In accordance with the procedure laid down in section 60(1) and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on 28 August 1975 that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to the Rochdale Borough Council, copies of which were circulated to Greater Manchester County Council, the Members of Parliament for the constituencies concerned and the headquarters of the main political parties. Copies were also sent to the editors of local newspapers circulating in the area and of the local government press. Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies. 3. Rochdale Borough Council were invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our consideration. In doing so, they were asked to observe the rules laid down in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972 and the guidelines which we set out in our Report No 6 about the proposed size of the council and the proposed number of councillors for each ward. They were asked also to take into account any views expressed to them following their consul- tation with local interests. We therefore asked that they should publish details of their provisional proposals about a month before they submitted their draft scheme to us, thus allowing an opportunity for local comment. 4. Section 7(3) of the Local Government Act 1972 requires that in metropolitan districts there shall be elections by thirds* Section 6(2)(b) of the Act requires that every metropolitan district shall be divided into wards each returning a number of councillors divisible by three. The Rochdale Borough Council's draft scheme was prepared accordingly. 5. Rochdale Borough Council presented their draft scheme of representation on 27 April 1976. They proposed to divide the area into 20 wards each returning 3 members to form a council of 60. 6. We considered the draft scheme, the comments which had been made on it, and an alternative scheme .for a 60-member council from a local political party. '.f^\ We decided to adopt the council's draft scheme as the basis for our proposals but to make some modifications. 7* We decided to accept, on the ground of community interest, a suggestion for *i •. ' • altering part of the boundary between the proposed Norden and Bamford,ward and the proposed Spotland ward. We thought that a change in part of the boundary between the proposed Healey and Smallbridge wards, and in part of the boundary i * ' , r between the proposed Middleton North and Middleton South wards, might improve . the standard of representation in those areas. •'''*' 8. Subject to the changes referred to in paragraph 7 above, and to a number of minor adjustments to ward boundaries recommended by the Ordnance Survey, we decided that the Borough Council's draft scheme provided a reasonable basis for the future electoral arrangements for the Borough in compliance with the rules in Schedule 11 to the 1972 Act and our guidelines, and we formulated our draft proposals accordingly. 9. On 31 January 1977 we issued our draft proposals and these were sent to all who had received our consultation letter or had commented on the Borough Council's draft scheme. The Borough Council were asked to make these draft proposals and the accompanying map, which defined the proposed ward boundaries, available for inspection at their main offices. Representations on our draft proposals were invited from those to whom they were circulated and, by public notices, from other members of the public and interested bodies. We asked that comments should reach us by 1 April 1977« 10. Rochdale Borough Council suggested that the boundary between 2 wards should be adjusted and that there should be a change to one of the proposed ward names. 11. We also received comments on our draft proposals from a political party, three political associations, two councillors and three private individuals. All suggested amendments to the draft proposals. We considered that we needed further information to enable us to reach a conclusion. Therefore, in accordance with Section 65(2) of the 1972-Act, and at our request, Mr D W Hay was appointed an Assistant Commissioner to hold a local meeting and to report to us. 12. The Assistant Commissioner held a meeting at the Civic Hall, Middleton on 10 November 1977. A copy of his report to us of the meeting is attached at Schedule 1 to this report. 13. In the light of the information gained at the meeting, and from his inspection of the area the Assistant Commissioner recommended that our draft proposals should be confirmed subject to certain modifications specified in his report. These modifications were related to boundary adjustments between the following proposed wards:- Healey and Smallbridge; Brimrod and Deeplish, Spotland, and Norden and Bamford; Heywood South, Middleton West and Middleton Central; Middleton North and Middleton Central. 14. The Assistant Commissioner also recommended changing the names of the proposed Smallbridge ward, and Newbold and Wardleworth ward, to Smallbridge and Wardleworth ward,and Newbold ward, respectively. 15. We reviewed our draft proposals in the light of the comments which we had received and of the Assistant Commissioner's report. We concluded that the alterations recommended by the Assistant Commissioner should be adopted and, subject to these amendments, we decided to confirm our draft proposals as our final proposals. 16. Details of these final proposals are set out in Schedules 2 and 3 to this report and on the attached map. Schedule 2 gives the names of the wards and the number of councillors to be returned by each. A detailed description of the boundaries of the proposed wards, as defined on the map, is set out in Schedule 3. PUBLICATION 17. In accordance with Section 6o(5)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972, a copy of this report and a copy of the map are being sent to Rochdale Borough Council and will be available for inspection at the Council's main offices. Copies of this report (without the map) are also being sent to those who received the consultation letter and to those who made comments. L.S.

OL16 1JH Written by Mathilde GUERIN - Project Assistant Kerrie Smith - Conservation Project Officer Conservation & Design Conservation & Design Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] February 2013 Spotland Bridge area - Historic Development Draft for consultation 1. Map progression analysis View to Spotland Road looking west, mid 20th century, date unknown Origins The industrial history of Spotland Bridge started around 1610 when five fulling mills were con- structed along the River Spodden The fulling mills were driven by water wheels and used to finish the cloth to make it ready for sale. The ‘clothiers’ created this Factory System; they built these mills and the Dye Works and bought ‘pieces’ of cloth from the handloom weavers. By 1740 the area had expanded substantially and was consequently chosen as the location for a workhouse (visible on this 1831 Ordnance Survey map) which was located at the south- ern end of what is now Primrose Street. This provided homes and jobs for 100 orphans and elderly men and women. The workhouse formed one of the rallying points of the Rochdale Poor Law Union, which fought the 1837 Poor Law revisions. In March 1873, the Old Spotland Workhouse partially collapsed, possibly because of subsidence due to an old coal-pit be- neath the building. However it was used for another four years, waiting for the construction of Birch Hill Hospital (former Dearnley Workhouse).

  • Proposed Pattern of Wards for the Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough
    Electoral Review of Rochdale__________________________________________________________ Proposed Pattern of Wards for the Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough Introduction 1. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) informed the Council, in early 2019, 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 Rochdale Borough Council. 1.1 This report sets out the Council’s response to the invitation from the LGBCE to put forward its preferred future pattern of wards for Rochdale Borough. 1.2 All of the proposed warding patterns within this submission adhere to the statutory criteria governing electoral reviews set out by the LGBCE: The new pattern of wards should mean that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters as elected members elsewhere in the authority to secure equality of representation. Ward patterns should, as far as possible, reflect community interests and identities and boundaries should be identifiable. The electoral arrangements should promote effective and convenient local government and reflect the electoral cycle of the council. 1.3 In developing the future pattern of wards, the Council has recognised the importance of electoral equality to a fair democratic process and has understood and considered that delivering Rochdale’s priorities relies on ward boundaries which reflect the communities they serve, bringing partners and communities with common interests and identities within clearly recognised geographical boundaries. 1.4 The proposed ward boundaries within this submission seek to capture the characteristics of Rochdale’s established and emerging communities whilst reflecting the important role these boundaries will play in supporting the delivery of public service from 2022 onwards.

  • Here Are Several Current Development Strategies in Place Across Littleborough and Smithybridge, Which Should Be Noted
    Littleborough Civic Trust Website - www.littleboroughcivictrust.co.uk Email - [email protected] www.facebook.com/littleborough.civictrust.33 Twitter - Littleborough Civic Trust@LittleboroughC5 Littleborough Civic Trust statement on planning matters The Littleborough Civic Trust, keeping the interests of local residents at heart, have drafted the following article. We hope to raise awareness of ongoing and upcoming plans for the villages we live in and how the LCT intends to fight alongside residents for a say over the direction of local developments. To begin it is worth mentioning the local greenbelt group “Smithy Bridge & Littleborough: Save the Greenbelt” have made significant leaps in raising awareness and engagement with residents and have noted significant appetite to fight the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework Plan. So, we hope this article is met with similar support. It is also worth note this article takes information from numerous sources to provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate statistics available, which will be cited if you so wish to read further. The intention is not to scaremonger and if that is the resultant effect we apologise in advance; however, this is the unfortunate scenario our village currently faces. There are several current development strategies in place across Littleborough and Smithybridge, which should be noted. For quick reference we have attached the number of homes suggested by each development plan: Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040 Executive summary Proposed major and minor developments 544+ Rochdale Rail Corridor Strategy 1845 The Greater Manchester Spatial Framework 510 When looking at ongoing/proposed development plans of the local area we first need to understand the local infrastructure challenges we are faced with.
