The Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder has been awarded £67.5 million for the current two years (2006-08) of a 15-year project. The Housing Market Renewal project aims to tackle some of the deep-rooted problems that face communities in Oldham and Rochdale. Its purpose is to bring about lasting change in order to improve people’s quality of life, and to drive up the prosperity of the area.
The project has already begun building new homes in Derker and Werneth/Freehold, and consultation is proceeding in other neighbourhoods.
