Air Ambulance and the Shelduck
The campaign to save the Welshpool air ambulance base, and we hear about a duck in decline.
A consultation on the whether to keep the Wales Air Ambulance helicopter, pilot and paramedic crew flying out of Welshpool is underway - we hear from the campaigners and the Commissioner reviewing the service. Domestic abuse in rural areas can be compounded by a lack of local services and a sense of isolation. We hear one woman's experience and from the Women's Institute highlighting the issue. And our bird of the month is the Shelduck which has taken a liking to the mudflats of the Dee estuary.
