The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andy Slaughter on 2015-12-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many magistrates’ courts opened in each local justice area in each year since 2010.

Mr Shailesh Vara

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.
