Leisure and cultural services in the borough

Link4Life is the name for leisure and cultural services in the borough. From 1 April 2007 services formally transferred from Rochdale Borough Council into a Rochdale Boroughwide Cultural Trust. The benefits for local people will come from exciting plans to increase investment in facilities and drive forward improvement to services.
