News for Cheshire

News for Cheshire is the blog of the campaign to get the BBC news website to provide dedicated news coverage of our county, which it doesn't do. Currently, users of the BBC's news website have to hunt on the pages for Merseyside, Manchester and Staffordshire if they want Cheshire news. Other contributors are welcome, just get in touch if you'd like to write for the campaign.

No news

There is, officially, nothing to report. The BBC has not published a single Cheshire story anywhere on News Online during the last 7 days. Not one.

We searched high and low but failed to find one anywhere. Perhaps Cheshire really doesn't exist? After all, nothing is happening here, according to Aunty. And Aunty doesn't recognise Cheshire as a county anyway.

We read the news in the Chester Chronicle last Friday. Surely something has happened around here since then?

Why is it so difficult to find out what's going on in Cheshire?

It still amazes me Lousie. It's not just the Beeb, either. I blog about Crewe and was amazed to find that Virgin overlook the town. In their city guide section Chester gets a mention, but Crewe (Ok, it's not a city but a major junction) doesn't feature. I wouldn't mind if it was a "city" thing, but Darlington, Brockenhurst and Cheltenham all get a slot. The fact that Crewe has to rely upon Radio Stoke and the Staffordshird Sentinel for daily news sums it up!
