Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many magistrates' courts opened in each local justice area in each year since 2010.
The tables below show magistrates’ courts that have opened since 2010. Each of these new courts replaced multiple smaller facilities, providing modern and efficient premises in place of buildings which were unfit for purpose.
2011 |
Westminster Magistrates Court |
2012 |
Aberystwyth Justice Centre |
Chelmsford Magistrates Court |
Colchester Magistrates Court |
Newport Magistrates Court |
It is not possible to present the above sites by their local justice areas as many local justice area boundaries change over time.
