  • 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 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.
