A Shropshire Council and Telford & Wrekin Council merger..... what do you think?

As the debate over whether Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin councils should consider merging is reignited, we want to know what you think of the idea.

Calls for a merger between Telford & Wrekin Council and Shropshire Council have been roundly rejected by leading members of Telford's administration.

The response comes after Shrewsbury and Atcham MP, Daniel Kawczynski, reiterated his call for the councils to combine, claiming the move could save as much as £18 million.

Would it make sense to have one authority running both patches? Or would it leave some areas without a voice?

Have your say and let us know what you think.
