Interesting Times for Lower Falinge

By -
Cherry trees in springtime on Lower Falinge in Rochdale.

Things are changing. Rochdale Boroughwide Housing has decided on a dramatic plan to demolish half of the blocks. There are obviously mixed feelings about this development, but at the moment there are not many details of what will replace the homes being brought down. Here are a few links that may be useful during this uncertain period.

Lower Falinge Community Activity Group, the local Tenants & Residents Association, has provided a Facebook Group for residents to discuss the plans.

RBH has provided a Facebook page for news and discussion: A Stronger Future For College Bank and Lower Falinge. They also provide news and information on their own website about the regeneration on here and on College Bank: College Bank and Lower Falinge: Latest Updates.

There is a Lower Falinge Facebook Page at facebook.com/lowerfalinge, feel free to drop by and contribute. We are also on Twitter as @lowerfalinge, please follow us there and say hello. 😀

Location: 238 Newstead, Rochdale OL12 6RQ, UK

An Open Letter to Rochdale Boroughwide Housing

Rochdale Boroughwide Housing recently scolded me on Twitter for trying to interact with them. I replied to each of their scolding tweets (there were four), and this is what they tweeted to me in return: You can view the whole  exchange   on Twitter. This is my open letter reply: Dear RBH, You're so committed to meeting my needs that I've been waiting for over 18 months for you to meet my needs. You're so committed that I've had to take a complaint about you not providing me with the reasonable adjustments I need to the Housing Ombudsman Service (HOS). You’re so committed that you took 7 weeks to reply to the HOS, and you only replied after I called you out on Twitter for not having replied. You’re so committed to meeting my needs that you won’t deal with me as an individual any more, even though you did previously. You’ve also inferred on Twitter that my interactions are so numerous that I am harassing you, and that it will cause detriment to othe
