Principles met

  • We will promote community-based approaches to economic development that focus on supporting the creation of jobs, social enterprises and other businesses and providing an environment for co-operative and mutual enterprises to thrive.
  • We will support the development of a framework and criteria for social value, giving substance to the concept and supporting Councils with the tools to ensure better local social and economic outcomes.

The Priority Account Service is an early payment scheme for businesses that supply goods and services to Rochdale Borough Council. The programme helps businesses get paid quicker, improving their cash flow and generating additional income for the Council.

David Bottomley, Director of Bottomley’s Print Services – a supplier to Rochdale Borough Council – explains how early payment has benefited his business.
