Spotland & Falinge Area Forum
Spotland & Falinge Area Forum meets quarterly at the
Methodist Church, Rooley Moor Road. 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 Spotland or Falinge 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 on
issues such as road works, environmental works
and developments.
- Hears updates from the Police and other agencies on what they
are targeting in the area, for example on subjects such
as youth nuisance, vandalism and underage drinking.
- Receives detailed updates on current local issues such as the
proposed development of TBA site and Health and Safety issues
related to asbestos on the site.
- 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.

meetings.
