Air Ambulance fight is over as Welshpool loses base

Air Ambulance Fight Comes to an End

Campaigners have conceded defeat as the final appeal to save the Wales Air Ambulance base in Welshpool has been unsuccessful.

The Court of Appeal has refused to hear the case, leaving no other options available and paving the way for the closure of the base in North Powys.

Despite efforts to stop the charity from closing its Welshpool and Caernarfon bases in favour of a new one in north east Wales, the decision is now final.

However, it is hoped that a land vehicle will replace the air ambulance, providing round-the-clock immediate responses for the local area.

The famous red helicopters will no longer be flying out of the local airport next year.
