Walking with a Smile!

It was a great privilege to witness and to participate in last Sunday's Whitsun walk around the Kirkholt Estate.
This event brought the community together in a show of unity and solidarity.
It was fitting the organisers of this event were blessed with fine weather, so that the walk could...

An act of betrayal: introducing the Rochdale Labour Party

Reported comment from last week's budget setting council meeting -
Deputy Council Leader Cllr Peter Williams: ‘The opposition budget proposals fail to meet the challenges set by the government.’
Unreported comment in response from last week's budget setting council meeting:

"Joint working" - surely the only way forward

Let me start by saying I welcome the move from the Council Leader to re-commit to a plan to share services with other local authorities (as reported in last week's press).
For Rochdale council to make savings over the coming years, it needs to take radical and innovative steps.
With this in...

Is democracy an unwanted friend?

The latest convening of full Council took place last Wednesday evening.
Admittedly, it was not the best version of Council I have attended. It did get off to an awkward start; with a stop-start debate marking an attempted foray into the ongoing cemetery issue.
However, on three separate occasions...

Swings and a roundabout

“In all things there is a law of cycles.”
Roman historian Publius Tacitus
So the local elections have come and gone.
Much has been written and said about how the LibDems fared last week.

Well done Elwyn!

Browsers of RO may first of all recognise that this is my second diary entry in quick succession! Well, quick for me. So perhaps I am slipping? Or maybe just trying to use this very good facility more often.
Naturally there will be many conclusions drawn from the result of the Oldham East and...

New votes for old

Can I begin by wishing all browsers of Rochdale Online a happy and healthy New Year!
Clearly there will be many political events in this coming year, not least a referendum in May to offer a new type of politics.
Politics in the UK is at a seminal fork in the road. It can continue to drift and...

Councillor diaries - they should be used more, but………

I have noticed the start of a recent thread politely enquiring why there are too few of our local representatives choosing to write a word or two in the diaries section since the election. Now this is not some sanctimonious cry, because I am as guilty as the next councillor in the absence of...

NEW BROAD LANE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS

It gives me little satisfaction to write this Councillor’s Diary in response to another disturbing accident which occurred recently. I am sure that residents of Broad Lane and the surrounding area will have been aware that another serious collision happened to 2 Badger Close and this follows...

Fuel Poverty and a Poverty of facts!

I note that Councillor Ibrar Khan has been nominated for a RO Award. I would like to congratulate both him and the author of his entries. When challenged about a recent letter that he'd written to the Rochdale Observer by a senior councillor he replied - "What Letter?"
The latest is an...

Setting the record straight

Councillor Ibrar Khan in his latest Councillor’s Diary asks the question why is it that we don’t have a participating arts centre to rival those on offer in our neighbouring towns?
Councillor Khan seems to be getting very forgetful these days. Back in February of last year, the...

First Class Care.

Recently I was fortunate to have supported my wife during the birth of our baby son at Rochdale Infirmary's maternity Unit. As you can imagine, for a first time mother it was a nerve racking time for her, but all the staff that she and I encountered at the unit gave her the highest standard of...
