The cabinet approved the plan which seeks to crack down on antisocial behaviour
Off-road bikers and public drinkers have been causing a nuisance across Rochdale - now council bosses have approved a plan to bring them under control.
Speaking at the cabinet meeting, Coun Danny Meredith said: “I fully support this report. I have had issues with off-road bikes in the Balderstone area for a number of years now.” A report read: “A significantly large proportion of the incidents were recorded in Rochdale North. There are however still a significant number of incidents recorded across the other four townships, demonstrating the need for this order to be made borough wide.
The meeting held at Number One Riverside on March 19, saw the cabinet also approve the Business Improvement District staying on for another five years. This came after a poll from businesses which saw 82 per cent of voters being in favour of the BID renewal, and 94 per cent of votes in favour of the BID by rateable value.
However, the approval of the second phase of the Castleton to Rochdale Active Travel Route was delayed as the cabinet decided to withdraw the item in order to pursue further consultation. The A £9m cycle and walking scheme was set to be given the go ahead despite consultation showing residents were not convinced - but council bosses want more consultation, the meeting heard.
