The Atom Valley Mayoral Development Zone (MDZ) is one of six growth locations in Greater Manchester (GM) and includes significant parts of Bury, Oldham and Rochdale local authority areas.

Working closely with key stakeholders, around each station we want to invest in new housing, walking & cycling routes, park & ride facilities, and new public realm & community spaces.

The Town Centre Masterplans for Heywood, Littleborough, Middleton, and Rochdale showcase ambitious visions that emphasise the strategic significance of the borough's town centres. These plans highlight opportunities for growth and revitalisation, including the creation of new homes, enhanced connectivity, and the attraction of new businesses, all aimed at fostering long-term prosperity and sustainability

As a key member of the RDA Senior Leadership Team, you will collaborate with other service areas, including Culture and Placemaking, to maximise investment opportunities and drive socio-economic prosperity. You will work closely with key stakeholders, such as the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, government bodies, and both public and private sector partners, to design and implement high-impact schemes. It is essential that you ensure RDAs regeneration and development priorities align with the strategic goals of Rochdale Council, improving connectivity, increasing residential and commercial floorspace and high quality development across the borough.

BACKGROUND TO THE ROLE

From the inception of RDA over 30 years ago, RDA has successfully promoted the socio-economic wellbeing of the borough of Rochdale. With the vision of Rochdale being a more desirable location with an innovative, productive and equitable economy.
