THE HISTORIC Broadfield Slopes in the centre of Rochdale will soon be transformed after £1.6m plans were given the green light.
The site, which forms part of the Grade-II listed park which runs behind the town hall, is currently seen as ‘dangerous’ and a ‘hive of antisocial behaviour’.
Proposals include plans for a new platform for event space with seating at the centre of the transformation.
In addition to the stage, new footways will be lined with trees and planters designed to spruce up the area leading to the historic Packer Spout feature.
The existing pool at the top will be cleaned up and expanded to create an ecological pond which can be used by the local school and community for education.
