Tuition fee mania has swept the county this week...demos in Cheltenham...plenty of political intrigue...and we been making quite a few phone calls to Cheltenham's Lib Dem MP Martin Horwood who is in Mexico at a climate change conference.

The fees rise only effects students in England. Pupils at the Wydean School in Sedbury have an interesting view on the issue. Some live in Gloucestershire but others come from over the border. We spoke to Abbey Cahill-Kearns who lives in Wales and Shannon Bartlett-Smith who lives in the Forest of Dean. In the future friends at the school will pay different fees at university depending on which side of the border they live on.

Your thoughts on tuition fees always welcome - would you even move house to save money and to get free prescriptions.
