Norden Community Association
Norden Community Association meets monthly at Norden Community
Primary School. It is a public meeting attended by residents and
local organisations. Representatives from the Police and the
Council 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 Norden 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 developments.
- We hear from local activity groups on what they have been doing
such as the success of the carnival and activities/events planned
by local groups.
- Hears updates from the Police and other agencies on what they
are targeting in the area such as youth nuisance, vandalism and
underage drinking.
- Residents raise issues on problems in their area such as youth
nuisance; Pot Holes in the road; parking issues, off road biking,
litter and flytipping. (It may take time but we will make every
effort to tackle your problems).
So don't just complain about your area to your friends. Why not
come along to the meeting and share your issues with us all - you
never know there may be an answer!
All minutes from the group are reported to the Township
Committee meetings. The area forums/groups 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
group also provides an opportunity to voice opinions to the Local
Strategic Partnership, which is shaping the future of the whole
Borough, and all of its services for the next 20 years.

of future meetings.
