It’s polling day in Gorton and Denton and Labour are out to on the doorstep calling for unity - not division. Great to see @CllrMeredith too! Vote Labour! #LabourDoorstep

Earlier this week, our women's team received a special invite to Rochdale Town Hall for a reception with the Mayor of Rochdale, Janet Emsley, and her Consort, Ken Emsley. The event served as an opportunity for the Mayor of Rochdale to pass on her congratulations to everyone at the club, following a season which saw the Hornets Women go the entire league campaign unbeaten and ended with promotion 🏆 It was also an honour to be joined on the night by local councillors @PhilMass3y and @CllrMeredith. Their belief in our long-term vision for the club has helped enable the development of our community facility at Balderstone Park, which will have a positive impact on the local area for generations to come. Finally, we'd like to thank everyone at @RochdaleCouncil for helping to provide our women's team with such wonderful recognition for their efforts this season. A huge well done, ladies 👏

I raised the appalling situation facing the workers at Tetrosyl with Employment Rights Minister, Kate Dearden today. Fire and rehire practices are abhorrent and have no place in our society. I look forward to seeing them banned and rogue employers held to account. @USDAWunion

Eamonn O’Brien is one of the most sincere and empathetic people I know. A loving godfather to my children. A democratic and listening leader. I know how brilliant he will be for #GortonAndDenton.

It’s been big week for housing in Greater Manchester! With #Housing2025 held right here in Manchester, it’s been a brilliant opportunity to showcase our ambitions for inclusive growth, and plans for new jobs and new homes.

The borough came together yesterday for a poignant and moving service at Rochdale Cenotaph to mark the 80th anniversary of #VEDay. Hundreds of residents of all ages were at the service of commemoration, on a day when the borough of Rochdale remembered. #LestWeForget #VE80

The Pope's coffin has been sealed. It was a private ceremony, attended by Vatican officials and some of the Pope's family members. Now that the ceremony is over, the Chapter of St Peter will hold a prayer vigil by the coffin all night, until the Pope's funeral begins tomorrow morning.

We love these before and after images of Queen's Park Bridge. This 1930s structure was recently restored and repaired in a major project commissioned by us and carried out by Heywood company, BDB Special Projects Ltd. Yet another reason to visit Heywood's beautiful Queen's Park.

Happy Saint George's day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The legend of St George and the dragon describes the saint taming and slaying a dragon. Today is the anniversary of St George's death in 303 AD. All are invited to the flag raising at 10am outside Rochdale Town Hall.

Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.

Big thank you to our @RochdaleCouncil Deputy Mayor @JEMsoc for coming along yesterday and leading out the team on "Family Day" @RochdaleHornets along with our flag bearers Rochdale's very own Sea Cadets 🤝🐝

When nearly half of all taxi licences in GM come from outside our area, you know the system of taxi licensing in England is broken. Later today we will set out proposals for major reform. Just as with buses, it’s time to take back local control. 👍🏻

On Thursday 8 May the borough will come together to mark the 80th anniversary of #VEDay with a service of remembrance at Rochdale Cenotaph, starting at 10.45am. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them. Details 👉rochdale.gov.uk/events/event/9… #LestWeForget

This is Labour’s Plan for Change in action.

What a busy TFGM / Bee Network meeting this week, and a great update from Mayor Andy Burnham on Rail Reform for Greater Manchester with Dame Sara Storey

Today we launched our campaign for the Lancashire County Council elections. Years of Tory control has left our roads blighted with potholes and our services crumbling. Now it’s time for change. #Lancashire #VoteLabour #WorkingTogether4Lancs
