The
judges had a difficult task on their hands, choosing who from Wiltshire
and who from Swindon would go forward to join those nominations
from Bristol, Gloucestershire and Somerset.
The
West's chosen Local Hero is to feature in a 40-minute TV documentary,
which will explore their life and why they have proved to be such
an inspiration. The programme will be shown on BBC1 later
in the Spring.
Now the juries have returned their verdicts! and two names have
been chosen to represent Wiltshire and Swindon...
For Wiltshire the photographer, philosopher and classicist:
William Henry Fox Talbot.
For Swindon the explorer and motivational speaker: David
Hempleman-Adams.
So now it is your turn to vote...
