An update for College Bank residents - October 2024
Work is now set to push ahead with exploring all options for the future of the seven College Bank tower blocks in Rochdale.
At the same time, improvement works on the tower blocks and surrounding open space are getting underway, to improve the everyday environment for the 250 or so Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) customers who call the blocks home.
This comes after an “exclusivity agreement” with Legal & General Affordable Homes (LGAH), to explore a partnership that could have seen a financially viable solution for bringing all homes in the seven blocks back into use, came to an end.
This means that RBH is now pursuing all other options to move the planned redevelopment of College Bank forwards.
RBH is now pressing on with structural surveys, demand analysis, ground investigations and financial modelling that will inform the next steps. At the same time, improvements to the blocks and the outside space, that College Bank customers said was important to them, will take place.
All customers living in College Bank have been invited to in-person drop-in sessions taking place on Monday 28 October and on Tuesday 5 November, where they can find out more.
Customers with any further questions are also invited to call us on 0800 027 7769 and ask to speak to the Regeneration Team. If you would prefer to contact us via e-mail, please do so at towncentre.regen@rbh.org.uk
