A teenager accused of terrorism offences is set to stand trial in the new year.

The Warwickshire force has now written to the government and asked it to require West Mercia to continue to collaborate with them "across joint business areas" past the split deadline.

A joint statement from Chief Constable Martin Jelley and Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe said: "We are saddened that it should have ever been necessary to make this request to the Home Secretary.

"Throughout the last 12 months of negotiations with West Mercia, we have remained focused on achieving an orderly separation which protects the interests of our communities and our workforce.

"We have made multiple offers to this effect, which have been refused on each occasion by West Mercia."

The Home Office has been approached for a comment.

"I think what we can tell patients in Telford and Wrekin is that they're going to have an outstanding surgical centre on their doorstep," she added.
