  • Oldham Rochdale HMR Pathfinder Heritage
    Oldham Rochdale HMR Pathfi nder Heritage Assessment Executive Summary September 2006 CONTENTS 1.00 INTRODUCTION 1 2.00 OLDHAM 4 3.00 ROCHDALE 11 4.00 MIDDLETON 17 1 Introduction 1.00 INTRODUCTION Background Oldham and Rochdale Partners in Action have commissioned a series of heritage assessments of the Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfi nder (HMRP) area, one of nine Partnership areas where the housing market has been identifi ed by the Government as weak and in need of fundamental change. The aim of the Partnership is to enable the delivery of a high quality, sustainable urban environment which address the problem of concentrations of poor and outmoded housing. An extensive series of actions that will reverse decline and reinvigorate the housing market are planned, which will initially involve strategic interventions in four neighbourhoods: • Derker and Werneth Freehold districts of Oldham, • East Central Rochdale area of Rochdale, and the • Langley area of Middleton. A combination of refurbishment, demolition and new building is being used to replace dated, unpopular housing of all types and periods with modern sustainable accommodation, supported by other initiatives such as Neighbourhood Renewal and New Deal for Communities. The aim is to deliver over a 10–15 year period clean, safe, healthy and attractive environments in which people can take pride. Recognising and building on the heritage value of the existing communities is a key component of the overall strategy for renewal. This is why the Partnership supports the need for heritage assessments which can be used to inform spatial planning and development decisions at a variety of levels, from the masterplanning of whole neighbourhoods to the reuse and refurbishment of individual buildings.

  • School Bus Services in the Oldham Area September 2018 to July 2019
    School Bus Services in the Oldham Area September 2018 to July 2019 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Although provided primarily for school students, members of the public may use these services with the exception of Yellow School Buses. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. Oldham 2018-2019 website6 - 1 - 20/07/2018 11:24:00 An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.30. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares.

Once again my thanks are due to the members of the committee for their continued hard work during the year and the support they have given me. In the summer, sadly, Roger Ivens, our Bulletin editor, had to give up this role due to pressure of work. Roger has done a first class job over the last three years and our grateful thanks are due to him for achieving such a high standard of publication, also for his own articles which have added to our knowledge of Saddleworth’s past. Also, for health reasons Stanley Broadbent has handed the job of newsletter editor to Michael Fox. Once again sincere thanks go to Stanley for his contributions to the newsletter over many years and thanks to Michael for taking on this important job.
