Question..... was the regional newsrooms in the Midlands reporting that the City of Birmingham was on the verge of Bankruptcy or at least on a shaky financial footing prior to its declaration of bankruptcy?
The reason I ask is that Nottingham has just declared its now effectively bankrupt. Do these regional newsrooms report extensively on regional governments and follow these stories that eventually lead up to massive headlines like a major city going bankrupt? This news seemingly comes out of nowhere until it goes national. Just wondering if there is any back or regional reporting tracking the lead up to such a declaration. Do they have city hall reporters covering local government? Or is it just covering press conferences and charity appeals. Seems like no one is watching whats going on locally. At least maybe thats the perception. Someone's got their hand in the biscuit tin, not saying in a nefarious way, but this cant be normal.
