The council's cabinet met to approve the latest pots of money ready for investment
In September 2023, the town was officially announced as one of the 55 areas earmarked to benefit from the Government’s Long –Term Plan for Towns. The £19.510m will be released to Rochdale Council over the next 10 years once a plan has been established - just under £2m per year.
The government has provided £50,000 to support them to develop their proposal. This would involve multiple rounds of public engagement in order to better understand what area of the town is crying out for. At the meeting at Number One Riverside, the cabinet also approved £879,390 of National Lottery Heritage Funding for the restoration of Broadfield Park Slopes. This matched their own contribution, meaning the project has £1,680,471 in total.
