Dear West Mercia Police and Crime Panel,

I am very interested to find out drink driving figures for the Worcestershire area over the Christmas period.
Would you please be able to provide the figures for the amount of deaths and injuries to people caused by drink driving every December since December 2007 in the Worcestershire area?
