Organisers of this year’s Williams BMW Rochdale Half Marathon, 10K and Fun Run are planning to make it the greenest one yet, with a series of environmentally friendly measures introduced for 2019 in an effort to reduce the event’s carbon footprint when it returns in October.
A Rochdale-born internationally renowned mural artist who has worked all over the globe is coming back to her hometown to paint one of the most iconic buildings in the town centre as part of the borough’s on going £400m regeneration programme. Hayley Garner and Joy Gilleard, otherwise known as the mural artist duo, Nomad Clan, have painted all over the world, from New York and Mexico to Poland, Iceland and Sweden, but Hayley reckons painting a mural in her hometown will be one of her best jobs yet.
Rochdale’s town centre has beaten off stiff competition to be shortlisted for the rising star award in the government’s Great British High Street Awards 2019. It is one of only 28 high streets across the country in the category, and the only one in Greater Manchester, which celebrates up and coming local communities who are transforming their future. The shortlisted bid highlighted all the work taking place in the town centre, which is in the middle of a £400m transformation programme.
