The reopening of Wirral Magistrates’ Court has been pushed back again, with its closure set to run into a sixth week.
The court was closed at short notice back on April 21, with Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) announcing it in a statement online the evening before. That statement said that a “building issue” was being investigated and hearings would be relocated or rescheduled.
Originally set to end just under a week later, Wirral’s closure has been extended a number of times. HMCTS announced its opening would be pushed back by two weeks and then, later, by another three. Those delays meant it was finally set to reopen tomorrow (Monday) but last week HMCTS said that date would also be missed.
