OPEN 7 DAYS - FREE PARKING - 100M FROM ASDA ROCHDALE

Welcome to our

March issue

Spring has nearly sprung and as we hope

for warmer weather to enable us to spend

more time in the great outdoors, there

is an exciting new project planned for

Stanney Park, full details on pages 44 and

45. Councillors Andy Kelly, Irene Davidson

and local resident Ben Johnson recently

met up to discuss possible new projects

in the park. Ben is appealing for local

people to come together and volunteer

some of their time to make this open

space more attractive and appealing.

Reverend Janet Pitman has written

another interesting article focusing on

how Lent has evolved over the years.

Whether you decide to give something

up or not, it’s an opportunity to look at the

importance and value of prayer.

Milrow Library Walking Group are

celebrating their sixth anniversary and

this month reflect on the challenges they

faced during Covid as well as the many

miles they have covered over the years.

We wish them all the very best for the

next six years and beyond!

Until next month…

Stage change for Rochdale

Feel Good Festival

Ongoing refurbishment of Rochdale Town Hall and major improvement works

around the town hall square will mean a change for this summer’s Rochdale Feel

Good Festival. The main stage will move 400 metres, to Hopwood Hall College.

Indoor stages in town centre venues will remain the same, with only the main stage relocating

for 2022 while major work on The Esplanade and town hall square is completed.

Capacity for the main stage area will be reduced to around 5,000 at the St Mary’s Gate

site said councillor Sue Smith, cabinet member for communities and co-operation at

Rochdale Borough Council: “After a forced two year break due to the pandemic we

wanted to make sure the festival returns this year but obviously with all the town hall

work underway we’ve had to find a new home for the main stage before it returns to

what will be a fabulous brand new events space. Hopwood Hall College have been

a supporter of this event for a number of years and I would like to thank them for

accommodating us and look forward to working with them. The site is very close to the

town centre and within a short walk of our other festival venues.”

While entry to indoor stages in venues will be free, entry to the main stage, headlined

by The Fratellis is ticketed, with £7 tickets on sale, so festival goers are being advised

to book early added Sue: “Rochdale Feel Good Festival attracts visitors from across

Greater Manchester, the north of England and beyond, so after a long wait its welcome

return is going to be popular, but with our reduced capacity we are urging fans not

to leave buying tickets until the last minute as the main stage area won’t be able to

welcome as many of you as usual.”

Julia Heap, the college’s principal and CEO said: “We’re delighted to be supporting this

summer’s Rochdale Feel Good Festival. Our Rochdale campus has extensive parking

facilities which will make a great events space for the festival that’s accessible for all.

We’re really looking forward to welcoming what looks to be a brilliant line-up of acts that

everyone can enjoy.”

On Saturday 13 August headliners The Fratellis will be joined by northern soul band

The Northern Soultrain, Manchester singer/songwriter Abbie Ozard, rock band HAiG,

multi-talented musician Aziz Ibrahim, alternative dance band ENTT, indie/folk duo

Firewoodisland, DJ Dave Sweetmore and a local battle of the bands winner, a full

programme of entertainment across indoor venues to be announced plus quality

food and drink.

Tickets (£7) for the main stage are available at

www.rochdalefeelgoodfestival.co.uk and you can book in person

at Touchstones Rochdale, Heywood Civic Centre and Middleton Arena.

The festival is funded by the council together with ticket sales and sponsorship from local

businesses. If you would like to get involved with the festival, email events@rochdale.gov.uk

For festival updates on Facebook, go to www.facebook.com/feelgoodfestival

Playdough

FUN!

Play dough is a versatile fun resource that can promote

children’s development in all areas of learning. Children of all

ages can benefit from playing with play dough – even babies

although adult supervision is essential. By manipulating the

dough with their fingers children are developing physically by

building up the muscles in their shoulders, arms, hands, and

fingers in preparation for pencil and scissor control when they

are ready. Mathematical language is naturally used whilst

children roll balls of dough.

By adding scents such as real slices of zesty lemon or cocoa

powder to playdough children are not only stimulating more

parts of their brain but having an opportunity to add to the

bank of their ever-growing vocabulary. Vocabulary lemon

could add rind, peel, zest, juicy, segments, citrus, squashy,

fresh, slice, cut, chop, and squeeze. These words are more

likely to be remembered as the experience is using more than

one sense, therefore creating a more robust memory.

Candles, cake tins and cupcake cases allow children to play

with what they know as they will inevitably make birthday

cakes and sing Happy Birthday to you or even bring the

creation to you holding it with outstretched arms eagerly

awaiting you blowing out the candles.

Providing open ended resources encourages creativity! Gone

are the indistinguishable playdough cutter shapes replaced

with regular shapes (square, circle, oblong, triangle) so

children can use these to create anything they want to. Real

photographs can be used to prompt discussion and provide

ideas for patterns and noticing details. This can also be linked

to upcoming events – photos or illustrations become activity

prompts, e.g., a photo of a tiger for the Chinese New Year

or a rabbit for Easter encourages children to make their own

animal from play dough. Children can be creative whilst

developing key artistic skills and learning to follow instructions.

Using natural resources promotes science experiments at the

playdough table as the texture can be altered by for example

rolling with a pinecone, the colour changed by adding bright

yellow dandelion heads.

The effects of squeezing and rolling playdough are very

therapeutic. It’s a fabulous activity to promote children’s

overall well-being by stimulating the touch and smell senses

to relax children as they talk, sing and play.


Playdough

Recipe

8 tbsp plain flour

2 tbsp table salt

60ml warm water

Food colouring

1 tbsp vegetable,

coconut or baby oil

Mix all the ingredients

together and then kneed

on a floured surface.

Top tip: use everyday things

LOCAL NEWS

Stanney Brook Park gets new friends

It is not often you get to see projects

like this take their first steps, but on

Saturday last week, Cllr Irene Davidson

and I met with local resident Ben

Johnson. He came with a simple

question: How can we make Stanney

Brook park great? After a decent

bacon butty, a coffee and two hours of

ideas, a plan has been hatched to try

and answer that question.

A ‘Friends of’ group

The park belongs to (and is the

responsibility) of the Council, or to put it

another way, we all own it. This is the case

of most public parks across the country.

ocal people can form a notforprofit

group, usually called “Friends of Stanney

Brook Park” for example as a support

mechanism to raise funds, take action and

look after the park in conjunction with the

Council. And that’s what Ben intends to do.

“I walk through Stanney Brook park with

my young family almost every day. It

has so much potential, and I know many

other people think the same. Parks and

open spaces are the green lungs of our

community, and we need to take care of

them like they are a vital organ!” said Ben.

He is appealing for volunteers to come

forward and to give their time in the first

instance. “Most groups like this usually

have about 6-10 people steering the work,

and a broader membership for anyone

who wants to show their support. The

first steps are to write a constitution and

open a bank account, so we are a legal,

protected and official group

And from there the sky seems to be the

limit. A quick list of ideas has thrown up

a wide range of possible projects to get

stuck into.

Cllr Irene Davidson added: “There is

usually a shopping list of uick fies that

a park needs: a safe modern play area,

benches, bins and be litter free. Working

with the council on these things will be the

first to happen But then come the ideas

So far, Ben has identified the following:

1. Develop the shelter - could this be

a replaced with something more

functional that discourages anti-social

behaviour. Maybe even a bandstand?

2. Open spaces - keeping the green

sections maintained will be vital, we

can do a “deep clean” and get all the

rubbish off the grass and even re-seed

some areas if it’s required.

44

To advertise call 07976 289967 or 07974 434793 or email sales@streetwisemag.co.uk

3. Wildlife - it would be excellent if

we could encourage the growth of

nature in the park and encourage an

ecosystem to develop plants so that

insects and animals could all thrive.

We would need some expert input,

but I love the idea of bat boxes, tree

planting, wildflowers, bee boes and

pond dipping

4. Water - on that note, we will need

to work with United Utilities and the

Environment Agency too, as we have

a brook running through the park (The

clue is in the title!)

5. Victorian Garden Feature - We would

love to restore the Victorian garden - It

could be part of Pennines in Bloom,

but I’d really love to get hold of some

original picture of the site?

There are endless possibilities with a

project like this, brass bands, dog shows,

kid’s days, cycle stands etc. but there are

also challenges.

“We need to work with local neighbours

too. We don’t want to demonise

teenagers here either, we’re going to

approach the youth service and some

uniform groups about structured staffing

and activities for young people.

There is a parking issue that we need

to address, but maybe we should be

encouraging a health and wellbeing and

getting more people to walk and cycle?

These are the things we need to tackle,

but we need your help.”

If you would like to get involved, please

email benjohnson08@hotmail.co.uk

Oh, you don’t know where it is?

Maybe you can email Ben then…

Cllr Andy Kelly

Update from St Thomas’, Newhey

and St James’, Milnrow

What are you giving up

for Lent then?

Every year somebody asks me this question

but often they are surprised by the answer.

In the early days of Christianity Easter was the day

when new Christians were baptized and Lent was the

period of preparation for baptism. It was forty days long

because that was the length of time Jesus spent fasting

and resisting temptation in the wilderness and it involved

teaching, prayer and fasting. Gradually it became the

custom for all Christians to eat less and pray more for the

forty days before Easter and so the season of Lent began.

By the Middle Ages Lent was an important time in the

church, special prayers had been written and the fasting

had lots of rules – did you know that rabbits qualified

as fish for the purpose of fasting? (People were allowed

to eat fish on fast days but no meat so some clever clogs

reclassified rabbit as a fish so that those who lived inland

could get some protein in their diet!). The problem with

all the rules was that it made it difficult for hardworking

people to stick to and that is something that I suspect

would have irritated Jesus who had some hard words for

the Pharisees who followed the rules to the letter while

ignoring the point of them.

In recent times Christians have become much less

organized in their Lenten discipline, some do not change

their diet at all, while others cut out the chocolate or red

wine. I have heard calls to return to the giving up of meat

for environmental reasons as well as eating more simply

and cheaply and giving the money saved to the poor.

I do not think it really matters to God what you give up for

Lent. We are blessed with such a variety of good food that

I do not believe God intended for us to starve ourselves.

The important bit, that has often got lost over time,

is the prayer.

Church Services

Holy Communion

service times are:

9.15am on Sundays and

10am on Wednesdays

at St James the Apostle,

Milnrow.

11am on Sundays and

10am on Thursdays at

St Thomas, Newhey.

Ash Wednesday

2nd March:

10am Holy Communion

with the imposition of

ashes at St James.

7pm Holy Communion

with the imposition of

ashes at St Thomas.

Mothering Sunday

27th March:

Holy Communion will

be at the usual times.

I do believe God intended us to be intentional about Lent, if you give something up, do it for

a reason. It may be that the feeling of wanting something you cannot have makes you think a

little more about how fortunate you are and makes you wonder if you can help someone less

fortunate.

In the past I have challenged myself and my congregations to give up grumbling for Lent (that

was interesting) or take up an attitude of gratitude. This year I hope to give up the ‘snooze’

button on my alarm clock and make good use of the extra ten minutes!

One thing I always do in Lent is pray (you may not be surprised to hear that I do that all the

year round!). Prayer is often easier if you do it with others - our curate, Sydwell, and I pray

together in person or via Zoom if needed. It is a good time to take a look at your prayer life and

make sure it is still sustaining your faith. You could find a special Lent book or simply read your

Bible more (try reading the whole of Mark’s gospel, it’s the shortest but you get a good feel for

the story that way). The Church of England has produced an app called Live Lent which you

can pop on your phone and it gives you a short reading, a reflection and a prayer every day.

Whether you give something up or take something up or not, I hope you have

a blessed Lent.

Revd Janet Pitman

Support local police officers to help our community

Our new Greater Manchester Police

{GMP} Neighbourhood Policing Team

is in post and ready to renew their

efforts to keep our towns and villages

peaceful and safe.

They cannot, however, solve the crime and

anti-social behaviour issues which affect our

Ward without some assistance and support

from the residents they serve.

The best way in which we can assist and

support our GMP Officers is to report crimes

or suspected crimes promptly. In the era

of “intelligence led“ policing, police forces

use the number of reports coming into their

organisations to target perpetrators and

allocate resources - many residents will be

familiar with this concept from their own

work experience.

GMP have made significant efforts to make

reporting of suspicious activity and crime

easier. Gone are the days of dialling 101 and

spending 45 minutes waiting for an operator

to answer. GMP have introduced a Live Chat

facility to their website and all you need to

do is open up the GMP home page

www.gmp.police.uk. Click on the blue

circular Live Chat icon in the bottom righthand

corner of the page and start typing.

Reporting an incident can take as little as

five minutes and it will generate a response

which may include the allocation of an

Incident Number or a call from a local

Officer. Several numbers of residents have

used the facility recently and the feedback

has been very positive.

Nigel Morrell

Milnrow Library Walking Group

This month the Walking Group celebrates its 6th Anniversary

and during this time we have certainly seen many changes.

We started our first walk in March 2016

with 6 walkers increasing very quickly

to a regular group of 10 - 15 walkers.

Gradually over the years we have

increased in numbers and now regularly

have between 40 and 50 walkers signing

in weekly to take part in the walks.

Initially we had one walk leader, now we have

up to 5 leaders taking out 3 walking groups.

The walks vary with each group covering a

different route each time and these walks

also vary in distance (usually between 4 and 6

miles) and degrees of difficulty and speed.

Over the 6 years, we have covered many miles

and footpaths in the Milnrow and Newhey

areas and have even ventured into Shaw, High

Crompton, Smithybridge and Hollingworth

Lake areas.

The group was initially set up to help

improve physical and mental wellbeing in

the participants and we feel that this mission

has been achieved, as well as many new

friendships formed. We are also delighted

that Cupid’s involvement has resulted in two

couples forming relationships due to meeting

up within the group.

Due to the Covid restrictions we were unable

to meet up during lockdown, but group

members kept in touch with one another via

telephone and social media or walking in pairs

in a bubble as well as occasionally meeting

other walkers during their own walks.

As the restrictions eased, the Group started to

meet in Milnrow Park keeping their distance

from one another and walking in small groups

of up to 6 people. These groups gradually

increased as the restrictions further relaxed.

I’m delighted to say that we are now back

to meeting in Milnrow Library every Monday

morning and returning there after the walks for

a well-earned cup of tea or coffee. Many thanks

go to the library staff for their help with this.

As a group we also participate in some social

activities including the annual Christmas Meal

and aim to do at least one coach trip a year to

visit another area with a walk included. Some

trips we have been on include Bolton Abbey,

Bakewell, Silverdale and Arnside, the Fylde

Coast and Garstang.

Several of the Milnrow walkers have also

joined other walking groups around the

Rochdale area and so go walking several

times a week.

New walkers are always welcome to join

us every Monday morning, meeting upstairs

in Milnrow Library ready to start walking at

10am. If you wish to join us, you will need

to register as a new walker therefore it is

advisable to arrive early in order to complete

the registration form.

IN THE GARDEN

GARDENING TIPS AND ADVICE

FOR MARCH

1. Sow hardy annuals such as Cornflowers, Sweet Peas, Nigella,

Poppies and Sunflowers directly outside where you’d like them to flower this Summer.

2. Buy hardy Primroses and Primulas to add colour to patio containers. Although often sold in

mixes, pots of colours can make more impressive displays.

3. Cut Buddleia back hard to keep it at a manageable size in small gardens. This will also promote

new shoots that carry flowers at their tips.

4. Prune Hydrangeas by cutting back old flower heads to the first pair of strong buds. Cut to a third

of the oldest stems, pruning back to their bases.

5. In mild areas early potatoes can be planted later in the month,

but protect emerging growth from frost.

6. Even without a greenhouse, you can sow and grow plants on a well-lit

windowsill. Especially useful for half-hardy bedding that takes time to

reach flowering size such as Pelagonium and Morning Glory.

7. Run a hoe over the soil’s surface each week when it’s dry to cut through

any emerging weeds and prevent them from getting established.
