SIR - Reading the letter from Dave Skelton in the Worcester News brought a smile to my face about the lack of local news from the BBC Midlands news.
During the Worcester City Council's Mayor selection I wrote to the BBC and Central TV news pointing out that no mention was made about it in their news programmes. I also mentioned the fiasco about the problems with the Ketch roundabout and the exit road from junction seven of the M5.
I did get a reply from Central TV news who said that they wer sorry for not mentioning Worcester's local news and I was told that several of their staff live south of Birmingham and are aware of local problems.
So far I have not had a reply from the BBC and I do not watch their news because of their lack of local news, south of Birmingham.
Thank goodness we have the Worcester News to keep us well informed about items of news in regard to the city and county councils and other local news to keep us up to date but it would be nice to get a mention on the TV news as well.
MR N M DUNKLEY Worcester
