Councillors at Wednesday (May 14th)'s meeting of West Wiltshire Council gave their full backing to efforts to save Wiltshire's Air Ambulance. Council leader Graham Payne said he would write to the Great Western Ambulance Service opposing any moves to a regional air ambulance service, and opposition leader Trevor Carbin pointed out that although the service was largely funded by the police many local people and organisations were involved in fund-raising to support it, and as such there was a sense of ownership by the people of Wiltshire in their Air Ambulance.

| Quotes of the Week |

"Liberalism in Britain has lost a great champion, the Liberal Democrats, a great advocate and our public life, a great servant. "
Lord Paddy Ashdown
In memory of Lord Richard Holme, who died on 5 May
"If the Tories want to claim that they are going to cut corporation tax, they have to come clean about how they are going to pay for it. Cutting the main rate of corporation tax to 25% will cost more than £5bn a year. If David Cameron is to have a hope of sounding credible he must state clearly where the money will come from. Otherwise this will be seen as yet another unfunded tax cut. "
Vince Cable - Lib Dem Shadow Chancellor
