GREG Dyke, Director General of the BBC, is visiting Walcot tomorrow to see the Wiltshire Sound Voice Box shop.

The Sussex Square shop has been open for two months and serves as the centre for a number of broadcasts from the area.

It is one of 52 voice boxes located around the country in areas where the corporation decided communities needed a better voice.

BBC spokeswoman Kerrie Lofthouse said: "It's staggering the amount of response we have had from the people in Parks and Walcot."

Mr Dyke was today due to make a speech to all BBC employees outlining his plans for the future of the corporation.

Members of the National Union of Journalists planned to boycott listening to his broadcast in protest at the dismissal earlier this year of two people working for the BBC Arabic Service.
