Carried out by Groundwork Oldham and Rochdale, the aim of the work was to provide an assessment of the site at present and of it’s potential to be a high quality green space asset in the future.
In producing the study and masterplan, Groundwork Oldham & Rochdale have carried out extensive community consultation and worked in close partnership with a number of organisations. In particular, the respective leads from the various Local Authorities departments, the Environment Agency and Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority contributed to the process.
