Did you not submit a response to the consultation 'Community radio: future licensing and technical policy'? Cant see Canalside/The Thread on the list.  https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-2/cr-future-licensing 

It’s a pretty poor indictment of the sector, with it's 250+ stations, that there appear to be only 14 responses to the consultation.

Reigate, Redhill, Horley, Crawley, Gatwick    ???        Good Lord !           that’s the largest 5km I’ve ever seen in my life !  If someone could explain this process (as in from the outset) I would be very grateful.I know we have been here before with this discussion, but along with other issues you can see surely why people get frustrated.  Owing to restrictions we (Canalside) are OFFICIALLY on 5km ----- and NO !!   we didn’t ask for it, we were led up a garden path which clearly was wrong. All we are asking for is a small ‘tweak’ because the rules have now changed.  Is anyone asking the necessary questions in the correct places ?  or are we just drifting along aimlessly ?  Please please explain to me why some have 5km and some have 10km and some have 15km               and the answer dare not be   ‘’Because they asked for it’’                   as far as I am aware everyone asked originally to ‘cover’ their Community     we certainly did     but were told ‘’you’re not allowed because????’’  And the circus continues with everyone operating under different rules ??  It’s bonkers !                           these so called restrictions have got a hell of lot to answer for along with the clots that dreamt them up in the first place  Well done though to Susy on the extension to the licence  Onwards and Upwards for 2017  Nick  From: cma-l-bounces at mailman.commedia.org.uk [mailto:cma-l-bounces at mailman.commedia.org.uk] On Behalf Of CMA-L
