Jimmy Cricket: Publicity Event
In preparation for the sleep-out event at Rochdale Town Hall on May 29th to coincide with council cabinet meeting.
Jimmy Cricket (http://www.jimmycricket.co.uk/) the well known Irish comedian and Rochdale resident will be doing a photo-opportunity and interview in the Memorial Gardens opposite Rochdale Town Hall at 11.15 am on Friday 25th of May 2012.
There will be opportunities to photograph Jimmy wearing appropriate comedy night-attire doing a mock sleep-out on a park bench with the Town Hall providing a fitting back-drop.
This is in protest at Rochdale Council’s plans to cut emergency bed provision for Rochdale’s homeless. This has already seen the closure of the Salvation Army Hostel at Providence House.

All members of the media welcome to attend.
