So, as of midnight, officially that’s it. Goodbye and thank you. Best of luck to respected colleagues who remain. 34 years. It’s been a blast (mostly). Hopefully new things ahead.

For many people working in BBC Local Radio 2023 will probably go down in history as a year of sadness, uncertainty and stress. For many listeners it will be the year that the service they loved & depended upon changed beyond recognition.
I hope those responsible will reflect…

…on the unhappiness that they have caused.
It was the year when long service & loyalty didn’t count.
They have succeeded in damaging something that was good in the name of progress.
Here’s hoping that 2024 is a better year for all those who’ve been affected by these brutal cuts

I’m so sorry it’s come to this. I had hoped to end my working life with the BBC. It has been a wonderful employer over the years.
Now generations of great broadcasters who would have begun their careers in LR won’t get the chance. What a tragic lost opportunity. Terribly sad.

Some people must know that they are regarded as utter scum - the lowest of the low.
I hope they find it impossible to sleep at night knowing what mental pain they have caused to decent hard-working colleagues.
They should be made answerable for their actions.
