A RECENT report concerning the future of small police forces such as Cheshire wonders how much longer they can go on.
One idea is for Cheshire to merge with Merseyside and Manchester.
Also in London they have merged a lot of smaller divisions to save money.
A lot of expensive PCSO posts have gone and been replaced with unpaid police volunteers.
Let’s hope that police pay is also frozen to save the long suffering rate payer paying more and more to keep a bloated force going.
The time is ripe for merger as Michael Osborne has stated, don’t go back to your wasteful ways.
