North Central Area Forum
North Central Area Forum is a public
meeting attended by residents and local organisations which meets
quarterly. 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 Central Rochdale 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 and updates on what is
planned in the area such as road works and environmental
works.
- Hears updates from the Police and other
agencies on what they are targeting in the area such
as youth nuisance, vandalism, underage drinking.
- Receives detailed updates on current local
issues such as parking and road works.
- Residents raise issues on problems in their
area such as youth nuisance; pot holes in the road;
traffic problems, 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 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 of its services for the next
20 years.
