Next Steps for Welshpool's Air Ambulance Base
Assembly Member Russell George discusses the future of the area after the closure of the Welshpool Air Ambulance base.
The news of the base's closure has been devastating, but George explains that all legal avenues have been exhausted. The Court of Appeal refused to grant a hearing, following an original application for a Judicial Review.
The Court of Appeal, as a higher court, considers appeals from lower courts, and its refusal means that we have now exhausted all legal avenues and have reached the end of the road in terms of pursuing a legal challenge.
George remains convinced that the campaign team was right to contest the decision, despite the disappointing outcome.
