December Advice

Wardleworth sits in GMP’s Rochdale Central area, with extra patrols over Christmas and New Year.

Keep your home lit and locked, secure sheds and bikes, and consider visible alarms or a video doorbell; remove valuables from cars and keep keyless fobs in a signal‑blocking pouch.

For fire safety, test alarms, don’t overload sockets, keep heaters clear, and never leave cooking unattended; eligible residents can book a free Home Fire Safety Assessment with GMFRS on 0800 555 815.

In severe weather, the council runs 24/7 gritting from October to April and stocks grit bins across the borough.

Check Bee Network bus and tram schedules before travelling; Metrolink typically does not run on Christmas Day. 

Confirm your bin calendar and any festive changes on the council site. 

Only use licensed taxis and pre‑book private hire; Rochdale Council provides licensing guidance and a public register. 

Stay Safe
