One reason why West Mercia police is not in favour of the proposal to amalgamate into a larger force is that market towns such as Shifnal, Newport and Wellington in my constituency will experience less neighbourhood policing rather than more neighbourhood policing. The chief of police will be in Birmingham rather than in the next-door county, which is the current situation.
