Rochdale’s rich heritage isn’t just to be found in our historic buildings and neighbourhood across the region.
Learn moreRochdale’s heritage isn’t just to be found in our historic buildings and neighbourhoods. It’s in our public spaces and cultural attractions, and in a bustling, diverse town centre. It’s also why we’ve invested heavily in Rochdale Riverside. The first phase of this ambitious scheme, a brand new retail and leisure complex, is now complete. Work on the scheme’s second phase is likely to start in 2021.
The £80 million Rochdale Riverside leisure and retail scheme opened in Spring 2020, and features famous name tenants like M&S, Next, H&M, Nandos and Reel Cinema. When lockdown restrictions ease, Rochdale Riverside will play a key role in helping to make Rochdale town centre a sustainable day and night destination, drawing visitors from Rochdale Borough and much further afield. It’s estimated that, when fully operational,
Rochdale Riverside will create over 1,000 jobs and generate net additional GVA (Gross Value Added) of around £17m per year.

Taken together, the Rochdale Riverside projects will significantly increase the number of people living and working in the town centre, as well as the number of visitors to Rochdale. The developments are part of our holistic approach to town centre redevelopment, with signage and walkways linking Rochdale’s retail and leisure centres with its historic and cultural attractions.
