David Rutley for the last 3 – 4 months on a number of issues regarding
Community Radio. He has passed my observations and thoughts onto Ed Vaizey.
Thus far, I have received nothing back from Mr Vaizey. I did have a response
from him about 2 years ago and I was grateful for that. But as I have pointed
out before, the response was disappointing at best and worse
still 1) Didn’t actually answer either of the
questions and then 2) invented a
question which he answered himself commenting on the money we received from the
Community Radio Fund …. If you put my questions to his response I would argue
that the first word that springs to mind with most people would be
‘’’patronising’’’</span></font><font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:

is exactly the same now as it was 10 years ago and is now only able to give an

represent ourselves well, we create a discussion with valid points and we back
up those points with proof and good sound arguments and then receive answers
that basically (as I have said) tell us what we already know and then take no
action leaving the status quo.</span></font><font face=Calibri><span

had ‘some’ bearing on ‘some’ Stations keeling over. Ed Vaizey or whoever it has
been over the past 10 years Mr Hunt etc etc are not Ministers for
Commercial Radio, they are Ministers for all of us, and although this is
opinion, I do think taking everything above into account AND the fact that this
has rumbled on and on and on for years and years AND the fact that there are
still 3 major Community Radio Stations in restriction bracket number one, it
basically turns the whole thing into a Circus. The status quo is no longer
acceptable, I for one am fed up of it. I’m also fed up of having to repeatedly
write lengthy e-mails and you are all fed up of having to read them </span></font><font

This is to let you know that The Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)
contacted me this morning.<br>
We can expect a ministerial announcement from Ed Vaizey at the end of next week
regarding the long awaited Community Radio Order.<br>
<br>
We’ll bring you more information when we have it.<br>

Best to all,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
