Protecting the Greenbelt
The Campaign for the Protection of Rural England [CPRE] have posted the following on their website
Revised GMSF – Slattock Community Meeting – 2nd Feb 2019
Here’s the presentation from the Slattocks Community Meeting on 2nd Feb 2019 at Thornham Cricket Club
Local Residents Defend The Greenbelt
Shocked resident heard of the extent of proposed Greenbelt loss in the revised GMSF on Saturday 2nd February 2019 at a meeting in Thornham Cricket Club.
Many were shocked to hear that the revised GMSF plan is still looking at taking a large area of local Greenbelt.
The local allocation [GM 2 Stakehill] if it goes ahead, will see the building of 900 new houses and an extra 250,000sq metres of industrial units swallowing up the fields around Chesham Estate, Slattocks and Stakehill. The area stretches across to Chadderton leaving a ‘corridor’ of Greenbelt between Thornham Lane and the A627M link road.

Help Stop Fly Tipping
Anyone using the local lanes, footpaths and bridleways will have seen piles of fly tipping from time to time [see photos below]. Nobody likes it.
Usually it happens under cover of darkness so the perpetrators aren’t seen. We suspect most of this is done by:
– unscrupulous builders who don’t want to pay at Council tips.
– drug growers needing to get rid of old plants.
For some reason, ordinary household waste is dumped – why?
Are people using a company vehicle to dump their household waste?
Local tips have long opening hours:
Rochdale waste disposal/recycling centres
Oldham waste disposal/recycling centres
Please take photos of fly tipping and a note of the location, then report it to the Council.
Depending on the location, click the Rochdale or Oldham link below:
