Residents view the proposals to transform the Langley neighbourhood of Middleton

What is the Pathfinder?

The Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal (HMR) Pathfinder is our big chance to create an exciting and prosperous future for the area.

It aims to bring more than £2billion worth of investment to parts of Oldham and Rochdale over the next 15 years, to create a better choice of homes in thriving neighbourhoods.

Work will include:

  • Building thousands of modern, well-designed new homes.
  • Demolishing some derelict, poor quality or outdated homes and properties that are in unpopular areas of housing.
  • Refurbishing some existing homes.
  • Improving areas of open green space, neighbourhood street lighting, roads and community safety.
  • Helping to create jobs, reduce crime and improve the area’s prosperity and attractiveness.

Investment has already begun in some neighbourhoods.
