Knowsley Magistrates' Court
EDM number 361 in 2010-12, proposed by George Howarth on 30/06/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Courts.
That this House expresses strong concern at the Ministry of Justice's proposal to merge Knowsley Magistrates' Court with Liverpool Magistrates' Court; notes that Knowsley is a district local government entity; further notes that having to travel to Liverpool will cause unacceptable burdens on victims, witnesses and the police; expresses grave doubts that the Liverpool courts have sufficient capacity to handle the increased volume of cases that will inevitably lead to higher demands for capital expenditure; and supports Knowsley Council in its campaign to overturn this proposal.
This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
