Concerns over police helicopter (From Tivyside Advertiser)
Police watchdogs have raised concerns and are monitoring the situation closely after news that the Dyfed-Powys Police helicopter could be scrapped in 2014.
Just a couple of things, without the trip around the old hamster wheel.
Under the proposals Wales will be served from bases at Rhuddlan in Denbighshire and St. Athan in Glamorgan.
...and given the right time of day or serviceability/availability, from one of the CRASU units.
At 3 in the morning, I may well be able to get there, but apart from the fuel issue, spelling Aberystwyth could be a big problem.
Hows the crime rate in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch ?
But Dyfed Powys Police Authority is not convinced the proposals would be of benefit.
As with SY, it would seem that it makes not a jot what the authority thinks.
