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.

The lord has spoken...

The BBC has reported the latest update on the issue of the abolition of Cheshire County Council and its replacement by two unitary authorities.

The report quotes Lord Wade (the House of Lords was trying to force the government to rescind its decision) as saying: "(Cheshire) is a long-term historic county, to which those in it have a great deal of loyalty."

What a lost opportunity for the BBC to recognise this too, and give the residents of a Cheshire a decent online news service.
