Chill- Out Meeting

"Following discussions with the Town Hall, I am given to understand that there is no objection in principle to the proposed Chill-Out sleep-out at the Town Hall providing that we do not cause an obstruction. Discussions are ongoing."   - Blue Shed Blogger

A Chill-Out Meeting has now been organised:

7pm TUESDAY, MAY 1st  at
St JOSEPH'S PRESBYTRY, HEYWOOD, GTR MANCHESTER OL10 1EG

Please come along and join us.

"If the council refuse to budge, we plan to doss-out for a night in front of the Town Hall in order to draw attention to the situation which basically will make it damned-near impossible to access an emergency bed without going through a load of rigmarole via a telephone 'helpline'."

At the moment a date for the Chill-Out has not been set - we're still hoping that Rochdale Council will see sense and open dialogue with those who have serious concerns regarding the cuts and new homeless strategy.
