Mark Garnier MP, who campaigned for Remain, said: "The result is slightly more in favour of Remain than I anticipated.
"I think the important thing to realise is that although I think we are better off in the EU from an economic perspective, I completely respect the views of my constituents.
"If we stay in the fact that so many of them have voted to Leave means that I will have a job to do to make sure they understand what the decision means for the future.
"If the country decides to Leave then it will be a case of helping Wyre Forest to get through the subsequent economic uncertainty."
