Four Councillors from Shropshire and Powys are challenging the assumptions made by the Welsh Air Ambulance in their proposal to move from Welshpool Airport after discussions with airport management.
Lib Dem Councillors Danny Bebb (Powys- Churchstoke) Nigel Hartin (Shropshire – Clun), Ruth Houghton (Shropshire – Bishop’s Castle) and Heather Kidd (Shropshire- Chirbury and Worthen) were appalled by the suggestion that our area should lose this key facility.

iii. The Ambulance
The four councillors have now asked for a special meeting with the Air Ambulance and Heather Kidd is, at next week’s cabinet meeting, going to ask Shropshire Council’s Cabinet to lobby the Air Ambulance against proceeding with this option.
