It's a rare thing. When it launched they appointed correspondents for Herts, Essex, 'west London' and 'south London' and the latter patch covered everything from the South Bank to Guildford!
Hertfordshire has always been better covered, not only does it still have a dedicated correspondent but there's been the legacy of being based in Elstree many years ago.
BBC London appear to have suddenly remembered they serve Surrey and NE Hants with two stories. One about the Surrey elected police commissioner and a story from Fleet pooled from South Today.
Well, I assume one was the story regarding Fleet's football team, using the 'word' Spurs, and legal
