Rochdale Borough Council

Over 3,000 visitors descended on Littleborough for #WildWanders24, our new night-time nature trail staged for the first time at Hollingworth Lake Country Park (24-27 October), encouraging us to think about how we can build a more #biodiverse and #sustainable future. Climate change is the most significant challenge facing humanity, now and in the future, and it's a significant concern for young people, so #WildWanders24 has been a great way of getting people to stop and think while reconnecting with nature, in a way that has captured the imaginations of adults as well as children

The stunning lights which once stood on Queen's Park Bridge have been painstakingly recreated by experts, as part of our £4m restoration of the bridge. The old columns were too damaged to be repaired, but experts at Metcraft Lighting in Middleton and J3 UK Engineering Ltd salvaged enough of the old structure to replicate the old columns exactly, down to the materials, colours and intricate patterns. These stunning lights, which would have appeared on the bridge when it was first unveiled to the public in 1933, will be reinstated onto the bridge and fully operational, when the project is completed early next year. The restoration and repair of Queen's Park Bridge is being carried out for us by Heywood-based, BDB Special Projects Ltd.
