Community Radio

EDM number 1058 in 1993-94, proposed by Nicholas Winterton on 19/04/1994.

That this House acknowledges the opportunity provided by community radio to bring people together to share common interests and concerns, develop a sense of belonging and express their local identity; notes with concern the increase in unlicensed local radio broadcasting; observes that the 88 to 105 megaHertz frequencies of the FM band have been largely allocated to national, regional and county wide BBC and independent radio services; believes that the forthcoming allocation by the Radio Authority of the FM spectrum may be the last viable opportunity this century for the expansion of community radio; and would greatly welcome a decision by the Radio Authority to provide sufficient FM spectrum for a tier of low power local radio stations serving neighbourhoods and communities of special interest.

This motion has been signed by a total of 130 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
