BBC RADIO SUSSEX

Early day motion 1720, tabled 5 April 2011 by Caroline Lucas (Green). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes BBC Radio Sussex is a much loved and valuable institution throughout the South of England; celebrates its unique role in providing news and information; is deeply concerned that the BBC is considering reducing local radio output; believes that such a move would undermine local radio stations as a whole and if it were to happen would be a huge disservice to communities in the South of England and to the millions of visitors to the region who rely on the service; and calls on the BBC to maintain the current level of output from Radio Sussex.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, Conservative 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Green 1.
