What goes out in these timeslots and is it any good?

A lot of the Local / Made half-hour blocks tend to be made up of generic / Shots TV content (the type of which OFCOM appeared to be targeting in that statement) - and decidedly low on quality.

At most, ‘local’ content might be a package, a brief news round-up and a weather forecast, so about 5-6 minutes worth in a single block.

Talked about what That’s churn out in Manchester already - not terribly great quality either - though in that area at least, the entire bulletin was at least wholly local to Greater Manchester (don’t know if that’s the case in all of their licence areas) even though it was all packed into ten minutes.
