Have your say on Police spending Plans

There’s an opportunity for you to have a say on the PCC’s budget proposals for West Mercia Police in 2024/25.

The Police and Crime Commissioner for the area is asking for the public’s views on paying more for policing, the PCC’s budget survey is now live until Sunday 7 January.

The PCC’s proposals seek to deliver the benefits of the investments already made and making improvements in the areas that matter most to communities: visible and accessible policing, investigations and outcomes and public contact.

To ensure communities have their voices heard, you can help us by sharing this information with residents via social media, parish noticeboards, and newsletters – thank you.
