Dear all<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>Thanks<br><br>Jaqui<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">HM Government</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:petitions@hmg.gov.uk">petitions@hmg.gov.uk</a>></span><br>
