Sir, – The peleton had only just left Yorkshire when the press offices of the South, West and North Yorkshire Police began issuing statements proclaiming how well the three organisations had worked together to police this spectacular event and I have no doubt they have good cause to feel proud of their efforts.

Is now the time to look again at merging these three forces and even bring Cleveland and Humberside under the same umbrella?

There must be vast savings to be made by reducing the number of senior officers and of course we would only need one Police and Crime Commissioner
