As the BBC makes yet more cuts, I am reminded of the callous way 'Local' staff and listeners were treated in 2023. In the NW ,three great presenters who had a special rapport with audiences had their last shows in October, Gilly, Beswick and Linda Mac. Listeners were devastated.

They were the jewel in the crown of the bbc ,these shows gave it a presence in the regions …it made it”our bbc” large loyal audiences,a real part of local culture binning them was counter productive ,cruel and left a lot of listeners lonely
