WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
The people of Rochdale, Heywood, and Middleton are suffering under a poor Labour administration and an awful Tory Government. It's not just the Liberal Democrats saying this, you need only read the coverage our borough gets in the local, regional, and national press.
Our local services are badly run, our NHS and public transport are underfunded, and our police are not getting the support they need to tackle problems locally. Here are just a few of the problems we face, as seen by journalists.
Rochdale under Labour
Rochdale has one of the highest destitution rates in England, new figures show
Heywood - Levelling up is letting us down.
They walk among a graveyard of empty levelling up promises
Middleton Estate in the shadow of millionaire's row
A 'ticking timebomb' - people fear 'someone innocent could get killed'
Local people face delays in discharge from hospital.
On an average day at the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, 92.5% of patients eligible for being discharged remain in hospital overnight.
