SHREWSBURY COUNTY COURT

Early day motion 754, tabled 6 February 1998 by Paul Marsden (Labour). Signed by 7 members.

That this House is deeply concerned by the Court Service's proposal to close the Shrewsbury County Court which would leave the county town of Shropshire without a county court, would force hundreds of local people from a large rural area including clients, solicitors and judges since there is a high volume of work undertaken in Shrewsbury; believes closures would fail to save money; and urges the Government to reject this proposal and look at improving all court facilities in Shrewsbury.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, Conservative 1.
