Have your say on police force merger plans in our brief survey
Surrey residents are being invited to share their views about Government proposals to merge police forces in a survey by Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend.
Under plans for police reform announced in January, the Government intends to scrap the current 43 force system in England and Wales and create larger regional forces in their place.
It would likely mean Surrey Police will disappear and be merged with neighbouring forces in Sussex, Thames Valley, Kent and Hampshire to form a regional ‘mega force’ in the south east.
The Commissioner said she believes the plans would be a disaster for residents in Surrey, resulting in resources being diverted from local communities. What do you think?
