Magistrates' Courts: Hartlepool
(asked on 19th July 2021) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he plans to re-open Hartlepool Magistrates Court.
This question was answered on 22nd July 2021
There are no plans to re-open this court and we are working with the local council to find an alternative use for the former court property.
Hartlepool Magistrates’ and County Court closed in 2017 following a full public consultation and workloads were successfully transferred to Teesside Magistrates’ Court and Middlesbrough County Court.
We will continue to keep our court and tribunal estate under close review to make sure it meets our operational requirements.
