Despite previous promises to rewild Falinge Common, @rbhhomes.bsky.social are planning to mow it this week.

This will destroy habitats, and kill essential pollinators.

It will also remove much needed protection from noise and pollution coming from the busy road.

So far the disastrous social cleansing plans, proposed and initiated by the discredited former management of RBH, and now continued by the unaccountable new regime of this rogue social landlord, have already led to a loss of 204 Social Rent homes on Lower Falinge, with ongoing discrimination against vulnerable tenants, and the destruction and displacement of the most diverse community in central Rochdale.

Text reads: If the demolition goes ahead: 128 social rent homes will be lost in total - a waste of valuable existing assets. 32 accessible homes will be lost - a disproportionate negative impact on disabled people. 64 family homes will be lost - a disproportionate negative impact on children. There are no plans to replace the lost homes - reducing the number of homes in the town centre. There are currently over 22,000 people on Rochdale’s housing waiting list. Temporary accommodation costs have more than doubled recently to £4.6 million per year. 2 large expanses of urban green space providing safe, secure amenity/play areas will be lost. Mature trees and shrubs will also be lost - safe urban roost, nest and foraging sites for many bird species and bats will be lost - huge negative impact upon urban biodiversity and pollinator habitat. There will be unnecessary and prolonged disruption to existing tenants and residents.
