BBC News Cheshire Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/bbc-news-cheshire.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 11 Apr 2026 06:07 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Peter Jones [Signature #376] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18656582?utm_medium=rss I am fed up of living in a news blackspot. I rely on police twitter feeds to keep me informed of any serious events and would like to see a Cheshire focused BBC news and not hear about news in Manchester and Liverpool, which is totally irrelevent to us here.

One thing that I notice around here that increases the community feel that Warringtn and the rest of Cheshire didn't have is the fact that we have BBC Radio Shropshire here where as in Cheshire there was no such BBC local radio station. It surprises me by the amount of local charities that are promoted in Shropshire thanks to Radio Shropshire, something which was severely missing in Cheshire. It's time that Cheshire should have a BBC news page, and a BBC radio station, it's a big enough county to warrant one rather than having all the news just about mixed in with GMR/Merseyside/Lancashire/Stoke. It is an entire county which lacks the representation from the BBC and yet still has to pay the same TV licence fee as everyone else.

Yet another example of the London focussed view provided by the BBC. It would be interesting to see the response to weather forecasts if the southeast was to be dismissed with a casual wave of the hand and referred to as 'the rest of the UK'.

Also, the bbc weather forecasts seem to skirt around cheshire so that it is hard to see and is often covered by the presenters head.
