Balderstone and Kirkholt Area forum
Balderstone and Kirkholt Area Forum is your chance to make a
difference within your ward. It is a public meeting attended
by residents and local organisations. Representatives from
the Police, Council and other agencies attend to respond to
concerns raised. Your local Councillors are also present.
You don't have to be involved in a group to come along - just a
resident of the Balderstone and Kirkholt area, who wants to know
what's happening in your area and is interested in how we can
improve your services and surroundings.
What the forum does
- Receives reports from the Council on what is planned in the
area such as road works and ward developments.
- Hears updates from the Police and other agencies on what they
are targeting in the area such as underage drinking and
vandalism.
- Residents raise issues on problems in their area such as youth
nuisance, parking issues, litter and road surfaces.
All minutes from the forums are reported to the Township
Committee meetings. The area forums are considered to be a
way of taking the process of local involvement to a very local
level, and are seen as an informal extension of the Township
Committee meetings. Issues raised at the forums can therefore
be raised again at the Township Committee if needed.

By sending representatives to Rochdale Area Partnership, the
forum also provides an opportunity to voice opinions to the Local
Strategic Partnership, which is shaping the future of the whole
Borough, and all its services for the next 20 years.
Contact the Rochdale Township Office for dates of future
meetings.
