Strike action looms ahead of Local BBC Radio cuts

Local BBC Radio staff have overwhelmingly voted in favour of strike action ahead of planned cuts.

The NUJ said 83% of those who took part in the ballot voted for strike action. No strike dates have been announced.

The 39 BBC local radio stations plan to merge daytime, evening and weekend shows in an effort to reduce costs.

The BBC said it would “modernise” local services by boosting online content.
