Just had an email from Virginmedia to say BBC1 SD will soon not be available, does this mean BBC local news will be available in HD at last ?

It means on VM there is now HD only. Whether your local news is ACTUALLY IN HD is another matter, as the majority of BBC regional studios are still only SD capable. In this case you will see upscaled SD content.
