Rochdale Borough Council has confirmed that several roads will be temporarily closed on Sunday, 8 November 2026, in Littleborough, Middleton, and Milnrow to facilitate Remembrance Sunday events. The closures are part of the council's arrangements to honour those who have served in the armed forces.

In Littleborough, specific roads will be closed, and waiting will be prohibited in designated areas. Similar measures will be implemented in Middleton and Milnrow, where alternative routes will not be established due to the nature and duration of the events. The council has indicated that the closures are necessary to ensure the safety and smooth operation of the commemorative activities.

Residents and visitors are advised to plan their journeys accordingly, as the road closures may impact local traffic. The council has not specified the exact roads affected in this announcement, but further details can be found on their official website, where a map of the closures will be available closer to the date.

For those wishing to participate in the Remembrance Sunday events, it is recommended to arrive early and consider using public transport where possible. The council encourages community involvement in these important commemorations, which serve to remember and honour the sacrifices made by service members.
