Please note: This is an unofficial community petition.

I have created this petition to engage with residents of West Heywood and the surrounding areas to find out their views on the proposed cemetery development between Heywood and Bury.

The purpose of this petition is to gauge how many local residents are FOR or AGAINST the proposal. I want to gather an understanding of local opinion so that I can present residents' views and demonstrate the level of support or opposition when putting forward my arguments against Rochdale Council's proposal.

Are you in favour of the development, or do you believe this land should remain untouched?

The proposed development raises important questions about the future of our local countryside, the impact on residents living around the Summit and Bury New Road, and the preservation of the landscape that forms a natural divide between Heywood and Bury.

I also believe alternative locations should be considered, including the possibility of extending Denehurst Cemetery.

I particularly want West Heywood residents to be heard, as they are among those most directly affected by any decision regarding this land.

I intend to take the views and feedback gathered through this petition to Rochdale Council as part of my challenge to the proposal. I want to ensure that local residents' opinions are properly represented and considered before any decisions are made.

So, where do you stand?

FOR the proposed cemetery development.
AGAINST the proposed cemetery development.
Please sign and have your say. Whether you support or oppose the proposal, your opinion matters. The more local views I can gather, the clearer picture I can present to the council about how residents feel.

This is about giving our community a voice and making sure West Heywood residents are listened to.Thank you for taking the time to read this petition and for making your views known. Your support and participation are greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Stuart Crawford
Reform UK Councillor
West Heywood
