Syke Area Forum
Syke Area Forum meets monthly at the Methodist Church. It is a
public meeting attended by residents and local organisations.
Representatives from Syke Area Strategic Partnership, 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 Syke 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 and
underage drinking.
- Finds out what events and activities are taking place in the
area.
- 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 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.
The forum meets on the 3rd Monday of every month at 7.00pm at
Syke Methodist Church, Syke Road.
