Proposed Cuts to BBC Radio London

Marina Ahmad AM moved, and Sakina Sheikh AM seconded the following motion:

“This Assembly is concerned about the BBC’s proposals to significantly cut its bespoke output in all BBC Local Radio stations including at BBC Radio London. This Assembly believes that these cuts will seriously diminish a service that is highly valued by listeners and underpins local democracy, in London and across the UK.

This Assembly calls on the Mayor and Chair of the Assembly to write separately to the BBC leadership which includes: The BBC Director General, Director of BBC Nations and Acting Director of BBC England, to oppose the cuts to local radio services.”

Following debate and upon being put to a vote, the motion was agreed unanimously.
