The Court Service is currently supporting 12 local authority and three Court Service PFI schemes. Of these, four contracts have been signed and new courthouses have opened in Kidderminster, Hereford, Hull, Beverley and Bridlington. This is the start of a steady steam of new and refurbished court buildings being delivered that will provide a better and more efficient service to court users in Modern user friendly and secure surroundings.
