SIR – Tom Edwards, reporting on the West Mercia Police, said that 11 bases across the force are to close in a bid to save £1.5 million (Worcester News, February 22).

Another 19 will be shut and replaced by alternative sites.

But surely the new sites will not come cheaply, so who knows how much saving will be realised after all?

Chief Constable David Shaw mentions that altogether £20 million has to be saved.

What else is in the pipeline?

Is the HQ at Hindlip safe?
