End of twitter postPolice pull out of marshalling remembrance paradepublished at 17:22 British Summer Time 20 October 2017

BBC News OnlinePolice have been criticised for their decision to not get involved with an annual remembrance parade through Melton Mowbray meaning hundreds of pounds needs to be raised for marshalling.
A fee of about £800 is needed to cover the cost of marshalling and traffic duties for the event, which is organised by the borough council with the support of the British Legion.
Sir Alan Duncan, MP for Rutland and Melton, said having to pay for marshaling would be “totally wrong”.
He said: “I want the minimum of bureaucracy. Instead of having a bill to the poppy appeal for lots of marshalls, let's have volunteers working with the council to make sure we can keep this simple and have a really successful Melton Remembrance Day parade."
A Leicestershire Police spokeswoman said in previous years officers have helped with road closures and traffic management but it had an impact on day-to-day operations and demands.
