Air Ambulance and the Shelduck

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Air Ambulance and the Shelduck

Campaigning to keep the Welshpool air ambulance flying, and an estuary bird.

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.
