The Government has confirmed it will create 2 new courtrooms at Fleetwood Nightingale Court.
This will mean more cases can be heard within the town and people will have less distance to travel. Currently, cases are being heard at Lancaster and Preston – a 30 to 45-minute drive away.
Today’s news follows the reopening of cells at Lancaster Magistrates’ Court, which will mean custodial cases will resume being heard there.
Currently, these cases can only be listed at Blackburn and while cells were closed at Lancaster, only cases where the defendant was on bail could be heard.
