What you can do: Tell your MP / MEP / Local councillor
This is much easier than you might think. Go to this very useful website (run by a charity and supported by the Deputy Prime Minister's office):
... simply enter your postcode and all your local councillors and MP's names are listed! Then, just click on any of the names and a form will appear. If you fill that in and make your point, the site will even send it to them directly for you. Easy and it only takes a minute or two.
You might want to point out your concern that the region is not getting a fair share of licence fee expenditure, or that we seem to be so under-represented as far as programming making is concerned. If you are writing to your MP, please point out to them why it is important that all Midlands MP's make their views known (the impact on the Midlands' economy and the profile of the whole region is something to mention). You could even ask them to sign The BBC petition
Maybe someone should be having a word with the Prime Minister too!
Go to the downloads page for an example letter for your MP / MEP and Councillor.
