[cma-l] Government response to petition 'allthevoices'

[jaqui devereux]

Dear all

Many of you will have received this from HM Government today regarding the
Allthevoices campaign.  We have checked with DCMS and this is the current
position of the new government.

However, a major caveat though - the new government cannot confirm that this
would be their position following the Comprehensive Spending Review in the
autumn, so not quite time to jump for any joy.  The CMA Council is meeting
on 31st July and will be devising a major campaign to feed into the CSR to
try to ensure that the Community Radio Fund is both maintained and expanded
and we will need your help in that.  Let us know if you have particular
ideas on the best approach for the campaign.

Thanks

Jaqui
