Welcome to the Rochdale Borough section of the website...

Rochdale takes it's name from its position on the River Roche and is probably best known for its Co-op, the beginning of the Co-operative movement, which today still includes the well known national supermarket chain. Rochdale is also well known for its textile industries including cotton, silk and wool and is twinned with Bielefeld in Germany and Tourcoing in France.

We have fire stations in the following areas: Rochdale, Littleborough and Heywood.
