 | | Objections to the provisional recommendations for the Boroughs of Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Trafford and Wigan and the Cities of Manchester and Salford led to a public inquiry, which was held between 31 October and 17 November 2005. |
 | | The Commission decided that they would not recommend the inclusion of the Rochdale Borough ward of Bamford in Rochdale CC and considered that the reasons given by the Assistant Commissioner in his report were strong enough to support his recommendation. |
 | | Ten wards of the Borough of Rochdale:- Balderstone and Kirkholt, Central Rochdale, Healey, Kingsway, Littleborough Lakeside, Milkstone and Deeplish, Milnrow and Newhey, Smallbridge and Firgrove, Spotland and Falinge, Wardle and West Littleborough. |
