As a designated mayoral development zone, Atom Valley will receive support from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to establish strategic frameworks and secure additional investment.
Endorsed by Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, this will help local authorities and regional stakeholders to work together and accelerate the process of levelling up. The mayoral development zone will also ensure joined-up thinking and integrated decision making that’s aligned with Greater Manchester’s wider vision.
Made up of representatives from the public and private sector, the Atom Valley board will refine the business case and develop its strategy, overseeing the delivery of growth across Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Greater Manchester.
“Atom Valley is testimony to what can be achieved through co-operation and pioneering spirit. Three boroughs, the GMCA and business are working together to create a world class location for advanced manufacturing, machinery and materials. We will make the area one of the best places to grow up, get on and grow old".
Daniel Meredith: Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Housing. Rochdale Borough Council.
