Blackpool Magistrates’ and County Court update
As part of our surveying work, we have taken precautionary steps to temporarily close Blackpool County Court and Blackpool Magistrates’ Court, due to the presence of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC).
Cases will be heard remotely or at alternative sites to minimise disruption wherever possible.

Magistrates to record their own verdicts in Single Justice cases
Magistrates will now be able to record their own verdicts in Single Justice Procedure cases and upload the results onto Common Platform.
They will still receive support from qualified legal advisers remaining in place for each session.
A phased transition will start from 27 November with each region tailoring its own schedule for this.

Bradford & Keighley Magistrates’ Court update
We’ve successfully completed estate works at Bradford & Keighley Magistrates’ Court, enabling us to reopen a small area of the building where Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) had previously been found.
The area had been temporarily sealed off whilst works to correct the issue took place by structural engineers.
We’ll continue to regularly monitor our estate, in line with advice from structural engineers.
