Speaking as a Nottingham local, the news had started breaking on social media at 5.30, but nothing on Breakfast until 8.30?! The cordons were up long before that and the bus routes were being diverted since at least 7. Sounds awful, but it actually cut some time off my commute, but I wish it hadn't.

Only seen bits of the coverage on BBC at work but it hasn't been particuarly impressive. Navtej Johal's coverage has been good, but the studio seemed confused.

Little surprised Anne Davies hasn't been rushed in for the Lunchtime bulletin, guessing she may present from the scene at 6.30.

This happened around 5:30 and they still havent had a press conference to update public or just run down the facts!? Wow thats just shocking mate.

Yeah its the police service job to investigate but they also cant declare a "Major Incident" and not provide any information to a rattle populace after hours and hours. Sorry they also have job to wider public as well when you shut down a major city and impact 1000s. I sorry i dont buy that argument at all. Most police services I would think should a Office of Public Information or a designated PIO.

LIke JLav25 said commutes have been disrupted. That is an area the media can use their sources to provide information. Instead of asking frankly stupid questions. Yeah it might be local (I would imagine the local radio stations are providing road updates) but at least it would look like there is actual information being disseminated instead of hours of endless speculation. Because due to the crickets and tumbleweeds from Notthingham Police there isnt much to go on.
