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.

Contact the Rochdale Township Office for dates of future meetings.
