A WEST Mercia Police consultation on proposed changes to front counter opening days and times has been amended.

The revised survey removes a proposal for new opening times and days of front counters and, instead, seeks to obtain feedback on preferred non-emergency contact methods when needing to communicate with the force.

The survey was withdrawn after initial stakeholder feedback and members of the public have until October 29 to fill out the survey.

Assistant chief constable Rachel Jones said: “It is really important to us that we hear the views of our communities and let people have their say to ensure we are making informed decisions.

“We know the way people contact and engage with us is changing, more people are using phone or digital channels and it is important we adapt and are flexible to meet these changes.”

Members of the public who cannot or do not wish to respond to an electronic survey, can call West Mercia Police on 07970 709975 and request one be sent to them.

Copies will also be available from front counters.
