Geographically the area to the west of Brighton is far more accessible than the east for business and pleasure ( east of Saltdean). This applies to both business and personal.
I have run many businesses in the last 30 years and the cut off point for me has been just east of Brighton for new business - no logical explanation other thsn geographical and local mindset.
Having studied at the University of Southampton I have enjoyed keeping in touch with the local news in the `Wessex` area and I am totally incensed that we are now linked to a completely different area to which I feel no affinity - and with no consultation ( akin to selling the iconic BBC Television Centre at Shepherds Bush and relocating to... Manchester?? ).
I feel this is typical of the direction the BBC is taking in general regardless of consumer ( licence payer)opinion.
The `geographical regional cut off area was completely inappropriate. Socially this move is also totally unjustified.
The digital age ultimatley is designed to give us, as a consumer, more choice.
I assure you this means I will no longer be watching the BBC local news.
You will also appreciate in this day and age, that opinion on this will soon go viral online and gain momentum vis Twitter and Facebook.
