Really can’t believe people are upset that a sub-regional English bulletin is being shelved. Talk about spoilt!

The entire ‘nations’ of Wales and Scotland just get one bulletin. In Wales just one radio station where in England it’s pretty much one per county.

The Welsh and Scottish coverage is totally inadequate, agreed. People are annoyed about this because it is actively losing a service that already exists and serves a community. I live two hours from Norwich, compared to 30 minutes from Cambridge. I will now be getting news focused on the former, when I have only ever known the latter. It's taking away a public service.

Yep. I do sympathise with the position with regard to local radio where there is a clear imbalance between the service in England and in Scotland and Wales. And I do think you can make an argument that the Oxford sub-region is too small to justify. But the Cambridge region is fairly big. It covers roughly 2.8 million people, just shy of the Welsh population and more than the South East, East Midlands, South West, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and Northern Ireland regions, as well as being the larger of the two East sub-regions (2.8m Cambridge vs 2.2m Norwich).
