All I ever hear on commercial radio is set-congratulatory Octopus Energy ads praising your own customer services. Why does it take more than two weeks to receive disjointed email responses from you? My smart meter problem never gets even close to a resolution.

A thought for you Jason Horton. The best way that BBC Local Radio can ‘Make a Difference’ is to cut this regional crap and do what local radio was about before you three bandits came along: broadcast locally. It’s what your licence-paying audience wants.

Not only has BBC local radio lost its sense of geography under the management of Jason Horton and his pals, it would appear their blessed Digital First strategy is pretty clueless about counties, too. Professional presenters lost their jobs for this.

How long has Wiltshire and England been part of Sheffield and South Yorkshire, Jason Horton BBC? Seems like it’s not only radio that you’ve torn ‘local’ from; it’s disappeared from your precious digital offering too. Professional broadcasters lost their jobs for this.

Please Carol Vorderman can you highlight this appalling situation that affected millions of hardworking taxpaying people during the pandemic. 32 known suicides as a result of this national disgrace. Extraordinary that The Labour Party are not highlighting this. Nearly 4 million voters. 🙏

Digital First BBC Jason Horton? The newest update here is five hours’ old. What would licence fee payers expect if digital were to be last?

I’d be really worried if digital was last. (Also note one of the stories is not in the Sheffield/South Yorks patch.) I appreciate its NY Day, but a full complement of local radio presenters would have been putting ‘Listeners First’. That’s an alien concept now, it would seem.

Great hearing 📻 David Lloyd on Radio 4's Feedback programme talking about the dire state of BBC Local Radio and reminding us all that the BBC is failing in its duty to the licence payers. Like many, he sounds very frustrated. Something doesn't smell right at all here...

This is the last of hundreds of entries in the Listening Project visitors book. A project powered by BBC Local Radio. I know the BBC has many calls on its money but the cuts in LR are savage and that local hug that the stations give their listeners will be missed.

What do I have to do to speak to somebody Hive Home UK ? Your chat service is never available and your online returns system doesn't work. I have 14 days to return something and the clock's ticking!

A new scheme to allow households a discount on their energy bills has just been launched. It depends on smart meters. Neither of mine work. Any comments, Octopus Energy ? I’ve tried emailing but not heard from you.
