Sign up! Please!

Looking at the stats, this blog is getting a lot of hits, but I'm puzzled as to why so few people have signed the petition. All of the signatories bar two are from Cheshire, which is good. But we need more.

Time has been tight at petition HQ - It's definitely time to do another media blitz to raise awareness again. And I promise that will happen very soon.

In the meantime, if more of you sign up, I can cite the stats to the media to show there is a need...

Self-fulfilling prophecy - you show the demand, the media will take interest, more will sign up...

Ok, enough whingeing! Go sign up!

Thanks.

Media update

No coverage so far at either the Chester Chronicle or the North West Enquirer.

However, the story has been picked up by Connect Media North West.

As an aside, the BBC is still under the illusion that Cheshire does not exist. They've run a story on some problems at the North West Enquirer, in which they state that the paper's geographical remit covers Cumbria, Lancashire, Merseyside, Isle of Man and Great Manchester. Last time the campaign checked, Cheshire was definitely part of the north-west of England because the NWE definitely runs stories on our county...

Google rankings

Yesterday evening I decided to google the campaign on Google UK. Typing in "news Cheshire", the campaign page on BBC News Online came up 2nd in the rankings, while the online petition showed up 4th. Today, the rankings are slightly down, at 6th and 7th respectively. But this is very, very good news!
