A long-derelict site in Rochdale, nicknamed the town's 'Chernobyl' because of its decayed state, is finally being cleaned up after decades of neglect, according to the Manchester Evening News. The nickname has made the story resonate locally, with residents long viewing the site as an eyesore and symbol of the town's decline. Details of the clean-up plans, timescale and who is funding the work have not been given beyond the report.
Why now: Locals have long complained about the derelict site, so news of actual clean-up action is a notable development
