Transport for Greater Manchester and local councils are developing plans to improve journeys for people catching the bus, walking, wheeling or cycling between Rochdale, Royton, Oldham and Ashton town centres.

The work will focus on the A627 and A671, the main corridor between the four towns, including the 409 bus route and is planned between now and 2027.

This webpage provides further information on the Royton section of the route.

Current engagement and consultation

We are carrying out a consultation on our plans for the Royton section of the route from 17 February to 31 March 2025.

Have your say on plans in Royton (external link).

This follows previous engagement in 2024, since then we have made some minor changes to the proposals based on your feedback. Proposals have been amended to take on board local residents’ concerns about the removal of guardrail.

In addition, improvements for pedestrians and to junction efficiency for bus and general traffic have been made to the High Barn Street/Rochdale Road/Middleton Road junction.

You may wish to read the information below before completing the survey.
