Hopwood DePree will be accompanied by Pam Taylor, a committed volunteer who had been assisting in the restoration of the formal gardens for approximately five years until Rochdale Borough Council barred the volunteers in 2024, citing health and safety violations.

Rochdale Borough Council has not been transparent and has yet to disclose which health and safety violations led to the locking of the Hopwood Hall Estate gates. It is evident that Rochdale Borough Council, Hopwood Hall College, and the RDA (Rochdale Development Agency) have been closely collaborating for several years to restrict independent access to Hopwood Hall Estate.

Technology Building which now obstructs the original Access

A Technology Building has been constructed, obstructing the original entrance road, which has sparked significant debate over the alleged illegal actions of Rochdale Borough Council. The recent township meeting was contentious, highlighted by June West's abrupt manner as she interrupted and dismissed any legitimate questions regarding Hopwood Hall Estate. Even when members of the public sought further clarification, Ms. West was unyielding, displaying complete disregard for the questions during the public forum and acted unprofessionally as a Labour Councilor and Chairperson of the Meeting.

Hopwood DePree and Pam Taylor will discuss Hopwood Hall Estate in more detail during the Roch Valley Radio lunchtime show. You won't want to miss this interview; the link is below.
