On Tuesday 19th May, despite the rain and traffic, a group of Rochdalians came together for the first Let’s Talk About Our Spaces conversation, held at The Hive, Million Pavilion in Balderstone Park.
Individuals gathered to talk about the places that shape everyday life across the borough.
The group was a cross-section of people with a love for Rochdale. Residents, community leaders, local businesses and volunteers – all sharing their perspectives, discussing what’s already happening across the borough and exploring how Rochdale’s streets, parks, buildings and public spaces can better serve everyone.
Roy Down, Vice Chair at Rochdale in Bloom said: “It really felt like we had the right people in the room to properly reimagine Rochdale’s spaces.”
Throughout the evening, there was a real sense that this conversation was only the beginning. As ideas continue to develop, we’d love to see this growing network of people, organisations and communities continue to expand.
