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.
A quick count-up of Cheshire stories on BBC News online reveals that just a dozen have been reported since 31 January. One of those was the big story of Garry Newlove, which is still making headlines - his attackers have now been sentenced. The rest were fairly minor - a road crash here, a missing patient there, and a handful of stories on police force and fire brigade cuts.
