The decision to close any court is not taken lightly, it only happens following full public consultation and only where sufficient capacity existed in other nearby courts to accommodate the work of the closing courts, and where suitable facilities are available. Courts that have closed were either underused, dilapidated or too close to one another.
Unsold former court buildings in Chichester, Fleetwood and Telford are being used as temporary Nightingale courts.
Asked by: Alex Cunningham (Labour - Stockton North)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent discussions he has had with stakeholders on (a) plans to re-open and (b) plans for alternative uses of Hartlepool Magistrates' Court.
Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence
There are no plans to re-open this court. 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.
The property is owned by the local council and HMCTS are contracted under a long lease agreement that allows the property to only be used for court operations. HMCTS are in conversation with the local council to find a suitable alternative use for the building, which will benefit the local community.
We will continue to keep our court and tribunal estate under close review to make sure it meets our operational requirements.

Between 1997 and 2009, 125 magistrates’ courts and 24 county courts were closed. In October 2009 the closure of one more county court was announced, and a consultation was published on the closure of 20 magistrates’ courts and one county court.
Asked by: David Lammy (Labour - Tottenham)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, which courts that have been closed since 2010 have yet to be sold; and what the cost to the Government has been of each of those court premises since they were closed.
Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary
The table below provides a list of former court buildings which are closed and unsold. Three of these buildings are currently being used as Nightingale courts as a temporary measure as we recover from the impacts of COVID-19.
Court | Notes | Holding Costs since closure |
Chichester Magistrates’ Court and Combined Court | Operating as a temporary Nightingale court since 6 April 2021. | £556,242 |
Chorley Magistrates Court |
| £275,984 |
Exeter Magistrates Court |
| £91,784 |
Fleetwood Magistrates Court | Operating as a temporary Nightingale court since 24 August 2020. | £123,041 |
Harlow Magistrates Court |
| £153,362 |
Hartlepool Magistrates Court | We expect these costs to reduce by c.£200,000 due to a service charge rebate. | £476,193 |
Maidenhead Magistrates Court |
| £391,241 |
Scunthorpe Magistrates and County Court |
| £432,597 |
Telford County Court | Operating as a temporary Nightingale court since 17 July 2020. | £252,115 |
Holding costs include utilities, rates, maintenance and security, and with the exception of the Nightingale courts, are from the closure of the court until 31st August 2021. For the Nightingale courts, holding costs are calculated until their date of temporary reopening.
We assessed all unsold former court buildings as potential Nightingale courts, but due to condition issues and operational limitations, only the three buildings noted were suitable.
The decision to close any court is not taken lightly. It only happens following full public consultation and only when effective access to justice can be maintained. Courts that have closed were either underused, dilapidated or too close to another court.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he plans to re-open Hartlepool Magistrates Court.
Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary
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.
Asked by: David Lammy (Labour - Tottenham)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the backlog of outstanding cases was at (a) Teesside Magistrates' Court, (b) Teesside Combined Court and (c) Peterlee Magistrates' Court at the end of March in each year since 2010; and what the backlog of outstanding cases was at Hartlepool Magistrates' Court in each year since 2010 until that court was closed.
Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary
The information requested can be found in the tables below.
The first table represents the number of outstanding cases for Teesside Crown Court cases.
The second table represents the number of outstanding cases at Teesside, Peterlee and Hartlepool Magistrates Courts.
Teesside Crown Court cases are reported separately to Teesside Magistrates Court cases as they are different courts.
HMCTS refer to all cases as outstanding rather than a backlog. Strictly speaking, the data below provided below is thus based on outstanding cases and not backlog of cases. There will always be a ‘stock’ of outstanding cases based on the size of each site and mix of cases.

Ensuring that we can operate safely during the Covid-19 pandemic is our top priority. We have put in place measures in our court rooms so that they can hold Covid-19 secure trials, moved to virtual hearings where possible and opened additional court rooms in Nightingale courts as part of a package to increase available capacity.
We have now opened Nightingale courts at 21 locations, including the use of former court buildings, bringing the total number of temporary court rooms set up nationwide to 40. These additional temporary courtrooms have allowed us to increase capacity, particularly for jury trials, in locations where there is an operational requirement and hold additional hearings within a safe environment.

The decision to close any court is not taken lightly – it only happens following full public consultation and only when effective access to justice can be maintained. Courts that have closed were either underused, dilapidated or too close to one another.
Asked by: Richard Burgon (Labour - Leeds East)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, which courts his Department closed in 2016; on what dates those court buildings were sold; and what the value was of each of those sales.
Answered by Lucy Frazer
The decision to close a court is never taken lightly. Court closures have taken place following a public consultation and only when the Lord Chancellor was satisfied that effective access to justice could be maintained. We have closed less efficient courts allowing for resources to be concentrated into a smaller number of better quality and more flexible buildings.
The table below provides a list of courts closed in the 2016/17 financial year, their date of sale and the disposal proceeds.
