Our vision
The Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder is a unique opportunity to tackle the long-term challenges that some of our neighbourhoods face, and to create an area of which we can all be proud.
Our vision is to:
- give everyone in Oldham and Rochdale the chance to live in a good quality home in a friendly, attractive and safe neighbourhood.
- create a better mix of housing, suited to modern needs.
- transform neighbourhoods that contain poor quality, low value homes and poor environments into thriving, desirable places in which to live.
- set new standards in design, by building homes with a genuine ‘wow’ factor.
- respect our heritage – by renovating some of our traditional terraced homes, and breathing new life into disused industrial sites.
- play a part in the wider regeneration of Oldham and Rochdale – by encouraging current residents to stay, attracting new people and businesses to the area, and supporting the development of our town centres.
