Shawclough & Healey December 2018

comments made during the “pre-submission
consultation”. The unanimous decision was to
make some slight changes and to submit the
Plan to the Local Planning Authority
(Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council),
and the Neighbourhood Plan was submitted
to Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council
Planning Authority for consideration.
In July 2018 the highlight of the year was
the ‘In Bloom’ judging in Catley Lane Head,
local results are eagerly awaited following
the fantastic success of the Gold Award for
Rochdale.
In August 2018 we had a discussion
residents, commoners and landowners about
the possible re-instatement of gates to
restrict unauthorised access and illegal use
of the moor.
RMNF continues to support other
neighbourhood forums and we have been
contacted for help with various issues by
Thornham St Johns Neighbourhood
Forum, Warsash Neighbourhood Forum
and Woodford Neighbourhood Forum.
