Thursday s local election resulted in a good night for the Labour party, as it retained its significant majority on Rochdale Borough Council, and regained a seat in Balderstone and Kirkholt.
The biggest changes in Rochdale this year are the election of Labour’s Iram Faisal and Phil Massey to Spotland and Falinge, and Balderstone and Kirkholt, plus new Labour councillor Terrance Smith in East Middleton.
All three wards have been held by Labour for some time – with the exception of Richard Farnell becoming non-aligned in recent years – but the sitting councillors have now changed.
