About

Littleborough Lakeside ward encompasses the northern part of the town of Littleborough, situated along the Rochdale Canal and the River Roch. The area includes the residential neighbourhoods around Hollingworth Lake, a reservoir created to serve the canal. The landscape is defined by this large body of water and the surrounding foothills of the South Pennines, with housing ranging from Victorian terraces to modern developments.

The ward is centred on the recreational use of Hollingworth Lake, which features a country park, sailing club, and a path circumnavigating the water. The Rochdale Canal towpath provides a route for walking and cycling. The area maintains a distinct separation from the more urban centres of the borough, with its community focus oriented towards the lake and its associated visitor facilities.
