font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>I attended a session of the Government Third
Sector Review in September 2006. The people from the Treasury who were
running the meeting knew nothing about community radio, but by the end of the
meeting, they went back to London with copious notes and a full knowledge of
what community radio is and could be. The three MPs on my patch certainly
know about community radio. Every station should be in contact with the
local MP/s and should make sure that the MP and local councillors understand
what community radio is and what it can achieve. Keep the MPs and
councillors in the picture with what you are doing and planning. This
will result in community radio permeating local and national Government
consciousness. Once MPs and councillors appreciate what is going on in
their own patch, they will publicise it. <br>
<br>
Perhaps CMA could produce a handout for use by community stations, stating
simply but effectively the role and aims of community radio. This could
be forwarded by stations to MPs, councillors and anyone else, who can promote
community radio.<br>

One great failing in the organisation of community radio has been that,
although the Government built into the granting of licences that social gain
was an essential element, it failed to fully inform other Government
departments. Community radio should be regarded on a par with other
community groups, which are there to improve areas of deprivation e.g. social
problems, discrimination, disablement, lack of employment and/or education etc.
and should be working alongside the relevant agencies. At a stroke this
would remove one of the main barriers to funding and co-operation within
community radio, i.e. the widespread idea that it is just a group of people
playing music and therefore not to be taken seriously. National and local
government should ensure that community radio is included alongside other
departments as one of the tools for disseminating information and attaining
improvement targets in the afore mentioned areas.<br>
<br>
The more community radio stations work together, the stronger will be the
message to Government.<br>
