My husband and I feel we should say that we wholly endorse the letter referring to the waste of Shirley Ludford's talents.

For such a great presenter as her and one much-loved by everyone to be relegated to the 'office on research', as I believe it's called, is a complete travesty.

We also thought we would be hearing her in the week, but after listening in avidly for her voice we have been very disappointed at the amount of air time she gets.

Did the petition to keep Shirley Ludford fall on deaf ears after all the efforts on her behalf?

We say bring back Shirley to present again. Don't shut her away.

She always did a wonderful job on her out and about Wiltshire shows, and her presenting was second to none.

Let us hear more of her Mr Harwood, before you lose thousands of weekly listeners. Maybe you will be relegated to research one day yourself.
