Local politicians from both sides of the political divide are slamming police process around the proposed restructure in wider Canterbury.    

Federated Farmers, City Councillors, and schools are concerned at the lack of community consultation.  

Banks Peninsula MP Vanessa Weenink told John MacDonald the communication, for a start, hasn't been well managed.  

She says police will need to do a lot to assure her, and the community, that what they're doing is the right step.  

While Labour's Tracey McLellan says the community's rightly concerned about the internal-only consultation, which is not at all in line with expectations.
