- A local development corporation was announced over summer, involving Rochdale and Bury, Andy Burnham and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
- Plans include an Atom Valley Northern Gateway manufacturing hub, 1,200,000 square metres of employment space, 3,000 homes, and improved public spaces, roads and paths.
- Residents particularly welcome the planned Metrolink link; Lateef Adisa says his ten-mile commute previously took over an hour by public transport.
- Rochdale council leader Neil Emmott says the project remains at an early stage, with resident and business consultations planned for coming months.
We’ve already done a lot to regenerate Middleton in recent years, but we need to take it much further and an MDC gives us that extra power to do even more, even faster.— Neil Emmott, Rochdale council leader, about Middleton's regeneration and the MDC
