This Plan builds on the strategy and work undertaken as part of our first Local Transport Plan (2001/2-2005/6), our longer-term Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Strategy (GMITS) launched in Spring 2005, and our provisional Second Local Transport Plan (LTP2) which was published in July 2005. It also takes account of the Strategic Environmental Assessment which was undertaken on the provisional LTP2. The Plan sets out our five-year programme as the starting point for delivering our longer-term vision and strategy for Greater Manchester. It sets out the targets we are seeking to achieve, which are fully in line with the Government's White Paper on Transport and the LGA/DfT Shared Priorities and are consistent with the funding guidelines set by central government. It also describes how we intend to monitor and manage the Plan over time. Expansion of Metrolink remains key for Greater Manchester, and we will continue to work hard with DfT to reach agreement on the expansion of the network in line with the Government's declared objective. We are currently taking forward the renewal and refurbishment of the Phase 1 and 2 network. Another key component of the Plan, and of our successful Transport Innovation Fund pump priming bid, is the development of corridor partnerships with key delivery organisations. These partnerships are looking at how we can integrate regeneration and land-use plans in individual corridors with transport modes, including the use of other complementary measures including travel planning, technology and demand management. They will commit partners, via a local area agreement mechanism, to delivery of their components of the plan and work is well advanced in the first four corridors. Buses remain central to our delivery plans and hence we have been working with the bus industry and other stakeholders to develop robust bus and accessibility strategies as part of LTP2. We believe that the partnership of the ten Greater Manchester local authorities plus the Passenger Transport Authority is, despite its size, one of the most effective in the country. We have achieved much by working together on transport matters, and this cooperation is being strengthened further with this final second Local Transport Plan. It will ensure that Greater Manchester continues to become a better place to live, work and invest, increasing its economic competitiveness, and improving social inclusion and the quality of the environment. We look forward to working in partnership with Government to deliver our shared vision for a fully integrated transport system which makes best use of existing infrastructure and supports the continued economic and urban regeneration of Greater Manchester. Councillor Peter Smith Councillor Roger Jones Leader of AGMA Chair of GMPTA 6 Final Local Transport Plan 2006/07 - 2010/11 Summary Final Local Transport Plan 2006/07 - 2010/11 7 Summary This second Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan (LTP2) outlines the approach being taken by the Greater Manchester authorities towards transport planning and investment for the period 2006/7 to 2010/11. It builds upon the principles and context of the Provisional LTP2, submitted in July 2005. Since that time work has continued on strategy development, including the Accessibility, Air Quality and Bus Strategies, which are being submitted alongside this final Plan. Programmes of individual authorities have been further developed, along with the Plan’s targets and trajectories. Greater Manchester - A Dynamic City Region Government is increasingly framing national economic policy around the economic success of City Regions and their direct relationship to, and major impact on, national economic competitiveness. Closing the productivity gap between London/the South East and the rest of the Country is a national priority, and the Northern Way Growth Strategy, Regional Economic Strategy and other national, regional and local strategies have identified the Manchester City Region as having the potential to make the most significant contribution to the future growth of the North of England.

Thank you for joining us today. My name is Neil Ward. I am the Lead Assistant Commissioner appointed by the Boundary Commission to conduct two things: To conduct the hearings across the whole of the North West into their Initial Proposals for the revised parliamentary boundaries for the North West region and, along with two fellow assistant Commissioners, Nicholas Elliott and Graeme Clarke, to take on board all the representations that are either made in the hearings or in written representations and to consider, in the light of them, whether we think it is appropriate to recommend changes, revised proposals to the Boundary Commission on their Initial Proposals. I should say that I am, in a sense, essentially independent of the Boundary Commission. Although I am appointed by them, I had no hand in the drafting of the proposals and I received them the same time as everyone else and I am, in a sense, an honest broker in this process, considering whether or not changes ought to be made. This is the second day of the Liverpool hearing. Just a couple of words on process.

  • Chapter II Normans and Plantagenets
    Chapter Two NORMANS AND PLANTAGENETS : 1086-1485 THE DOMESDAY BOOK . OCHDALE'S written history begins in 1086, when William the Conqueror sent his men all over England to find out how much land was being cultivated and how much revenue he might expect R to collect : the result was the Domesday (or Doomsday) Book, so called because of its uncompromising thoroughness and detail . Its two volumes, written in crabbed Latin, with words occasionally scored through in red for emphasis, instead of being underlined, are now displayed at the Public Record Office, London . One can imagine the difficulties of the Norman inspectors : how unwillingly and in what various dialects the English land-holders gave their answers when the " day of reckoning " came upon them . Perhaps this may account for the fact that "Rochdale" is set down as " Recedham ." It was probably then, as we still hear it today, pro- rounced as " Ratchda ' " with a long " a," and a soft Cheshire " c." Very freely translated and abbreviated, this is the gist of the Domesday entry concerning Rochdale as it was in the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), excluding such details as the King's personal property and lands in the Salford Hundred : King Edward held Salford . To this Hundred belonged 21 manors held by as many thanes ; in which there were 112 hides and 102 carucates of land . Camel, a tenant of 2 of these hides in Recedham, was free of all customs but these six : theft, housebreaking, premeditated assault, breach of the peace, not answering the reeve's summons, and 1 4 ROCHDALE RETROSPECT continuing a fight after swearing on oath to desist .

The study area contains potential archaeological remains of the 19th and 20th centuries. These remains belong to four main types of activity: the tanning factory (sites 1a to 1d, early to mid-19th century); the remains of workers’ housing (sites 3a, 3b and 9, 19th century); the church mission (sites 11a and 11b, early to mid-20th century) and the nursery (site 13, mid- to late 20th century). None of the potential remains within the study area are considered to have national significance. However the study area does contain potential remains of regional and local significance, which will be destroyed by the proposed development and will therefore require appropriate recording to be made.

Chapter 5 Green Infrastructure in Rochdale Township by Area 19 Chapter 6 Green Infrastructure Objectives for Rochdale 53 Township Chapter 7 Key Partnerships for Delivery 66 Appendix Policy Context 68 Glossary & Abbreviations 70 Further References and links (Text to be finalised) Chapter 1: Why a Green Infrastructure Plan for Rochdale Township? Introduction Rochdale Township is home to the largest proportion of the borough’s population and is the main centre for shopping, services, leisure, local government and employment within the Borough. It has a strong sense of identity with distinct ambitions to create sustainable communities for its people, environment and economy. The quality of the environment including its green spaces, watercourses and surrounding countryside is important in shaping how the Township is perceived and experienced both by residents and visitors, along with potential investors. The environment is also part of the essential infrastructure for the Township, Borough and beyond including the core of Greater Manchester. This Action Plan sets out Rochdale Township’s particular green infrastructure assets and a series of key objectives and projects to ensure that their value to the Township is fully realised in supporting economic growth, community health and well being and a sustainable environment which can help address the impacts of climate change.
