Magistrates' Courts: Chichester
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans he has for the Magistrates Court building in Chichester.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
There are currently no plans to reopen the former Chichester Magistrates’ Court.
The building has been closed since 2017 and is now in very poor condition. With the neighbouring Chichester Combined Court having transitioned from a Nightingale court to the permanent estate, HMCTS is now reviewing options for the future of the former Magistrates’ Court site, including its disposal.
