Tameside now has the most places with hardly any cases of Covid-19 in Greater Manchester

Tameside now has the most places with hardly any cases of Covid-19 in Greater Manchester. The Greater Manchester borough that has the most places with hardly any Covid-19 cases - chiefs say the reason is simple - 
The borough’s council boss says the explanation is simple – everyone has ‘played their part’.
The latest hyper-local neighbourhood data shows that there are five areas of the borough which saw two or fewer cases in the last week.
Ashton North, Audenshaw, Hurst Cross, Denton East and Dukinfield West all saw either two, one or no new infections in the seven days to December 11 according to the government statistics. 

When cases drop below three, the exact number is suppressed due to data protection so it is not possible to declare areas entirely Covid-free.

However it means the rate of transmission has fallen dramatically in those areas of Tameside – and far more so than in the nine other boroughs.
As a whole, the borough continues to have the lowest infection rate in Greater Manchester; standing at 91.4 cases per 100,000 people as of December 16.

The England rate has risen to 205.7, meaning that just one of the region’s boroughs – Rochdale – continues to have higher rates than average. 

The biggest hotspot area in Tameside is now Droylsden Central, which is one of the few neighbourhoods that have seen a rise rather than a reduction in cases. 
In the week to November 28 there were seven new infections recorded, but this has increased to 21 in the week to December 11.

It is followed by Godley, with 14, and Smallshaw, Carrbrook and Micklehurst – with 12 cases apiece – however cases in all three areas are in decline from the end of November.

There are now 22 areas of the borough which have seen weekly coronavirus cases drop into or beyond single figures.

Tameside council Leader Brenda Warrington said: “It may sound like cliché, but the fact the rates have dropped so rapidly in Tameside really is down to everyone playing their part. 
“Whether that’s individuals wearing a face cover and washing their hands or the many programmes of ongoing partnership work to keep our residents safe – it has been a collective effort that I think everyone can be proud of.

“Residents have good access to testing, up-to-date information and services to not only to help protect them from Covid-19 but to support them through the many ramifications this virus has had on people’s lives.
They are providing an essential link supporting communities and individuals alongside many people across the whole of Tameside.”

However, Coun Warrington also urged people not to become complacent over Christmas which could lead to another surge in cases.

“Transmission rates are starting to plateau and despite the rapid decrease, they are still high,” she added.


“As we’re excited the first tranches of the vaccines are now being administered in Tameside, we must ensure all the hard work continues to keep each other safe. 

We want everyone to be able to enjoy the festive season but we don’t want to risk an increase in the rates afterwards.

“And so, I ask everyone to take all the necessary precautions so that we can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel as we move into the new year and beyond."

Hyde Masterplan

The first look at a masterplan for how Hyde could be rejuvenated over the next two decades has been revealed. A four-week public consultation will launch in May to get people's views on the new vision for Hyde town centre, which aims at 'unlocking' its 'comprehensive redevelopment'. The programme is envisioned to take 15 to 20 years, with both short and long-term goals being set by the local authority. The draft proposals aim to make Hyde a ‘desirable place to live, socialise and shop’ and a ‘thriving hub for daily urban life’, reversing a decline in its ‘viability and vitality’. Once adopted it will act as a ‘material consideration’ as part of any planning applications that are submitted in the area in the future. “Cultural resurgence is at the heart of the masterplan and this will define the area’s future reinforcing its distinctive character, allowing Hyde to flourish and find its own identity within the context of Greater Manchester and the North West,” a cabine...
