BBC say David Lowe's resignation should not have been accepted

'We accept that the discussion with David Lowe about his future could have been handled better. His offer to resign was agreed locally but once escalated it was decided his resignation should not have been accepted. David was initially invited early last week (Tues 6 May) to return to his show. He has declined and so we would like to thank him for his many years presenting on Radio Devon and wish him well for the future.'
