Help and treatment in the borough

Alcohol Strategy 2012-15

This boroughwide Alcohol Strategy aims to reduce alcohol related harm by:

  1. Reducing alcohol-related poor heath and mortality.
  2. Ensuring high quality, evidence-based treatment is provided to help all alcohol misusers successfully engage in treatment and recover from their dependency.
  3. Reducing alcohol-related crime and disorder.
  4. Preventing, protecting and discouraging our young people from alcohol-related harm.
  5. Promoting a sensible driving culture throughout the borough, which is everyone's responsibility to encourage.

Boroughwide alcohol ban

A boroughwide alcohol ban operates in Rochdale. This means that you cannot consume alcohol on the streets or you may be required to cease and surrender alcohol in your possession. Failure to comply is an arrestable offence with a maximum fine of £500.
