Reconsider the planned closure of the BBC food website
Following the publication of the May 2016 Gov't white paper on the future of the BBC, it was announced that the BBC food website is to close as part of a plan to cut £15 million from the BBC online budget. We feel that the BBC food website is a valuable cultural resource that should be preserved.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This decision is the responsibility of the BBC. The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
You could start a petition calling on the Government not to make cuts to the BBC's funding.
