About

Healey ward sits in the southern part of the Rochdale borough, characterised by its residential streets and proximity to open countryside. The area is primarily made up of housing estates and local services, with Healey Park providing a central green space for recreation. Its layout offers views towards the Pennine hills, blending suburban living with rural edges.

The community is served by several local schools and shops along main routes like Bury Road. A notable local landmark is the Healey Dell Nature Reserve, a wooded river valley with historic viaducts and walking trails cut by the River Spodden. This reserve forms a significant green corridor, distinguishing the ward's landscape from more densely urban areas of the town.
