    Append. 2 for 2040 Transport Delivery Plan

    Rochdale Summary GMTS2040 Implementation Plan 15.10.20 1. Introduction This Implementation Plan sets out how we will work towards our priorities including economic growth, improving the environment and social inclusion by building on Rochdale’s planned and current transport projects, many of which are set out in the Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040 5-Year Delivery Plan (2020-2025). While the 5-year Delivery Plan tends to consider large, medium and long-term transport schemes, this Implementation Plan is mainly focussed on local, neighbourhood level priorities and interventions to 2025. A summary of strategic schemes within the 5-Year Delivery Plan are included on Map 1. Rochdale Council in its Corporate Plan 2019-2022 “Prosperous People and Places” outlines a vision of “Making our Borough a great place to grow up, get on and live well”. It places an emphasis on prosperity for people who are healthy, safe, happy and available to participate fully in life, in places that grow and change to provide strong local economies providing opportunities and enhance quality of life. Indicators of success in achieving this are: Accessible quality highways and transport options including cycling and walking; Air and land, free from pollution and infrastructure that protects against climate change by using natural and renewable resources; More people are physically active including the over 50’s; People have access to good or outstanding places of learning; Reduced crime and anti-social behaviour. To strive for this prosperity the Council

    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.
