Police control rooms in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire could be merged into one under plans currently being discussed.

All three forces need to make budget cuts and it's thought a merger could save up to seven million pounds.

But there's also concern that it could mean a worse service to the public with responses could be directed by staff with less local knowledge.
