The works are located, within land owned by Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA). A 900mm culverted pipe is located beneath the existing Chichester Street Recycling Centre site at Rochdale. The culvert consists of two sections running from south to north conveying combined water flows from an upper catchment area in Rochdale and discharges to the River Roch. GMCA are currently working on a project to survey a section of the culvert, which would need arranging for a tanker to jet and cleanse a blocked section of the culvert, accessed from MH6. A new access road would be needed to allow the tanker to undertake the pipe maintenance. The scope of the project is as follows:\\r\r
