BBC website downsizing

The BBC has announced that a number of websites, including BBC Food and Newsbeat, are to close as part of plans to save £15m.

Local news indexes for more than 40 geographical areas in England will also go.

The BBC's Travel website may also cease.

Although the BBC Food section is to go, there is a commercial website BBC Good Food that will continue.

The planned end of the BBC Food website prompted an online petition, which has attracted over 150,000 supporters. I've signed it at:

The 11,000 existing recipes on the BBC Food website will not be searchable which will make them harder to find online.
