The courts and tribunals in England and Wales benefited from an extra £15m worth of repairs and improvements last year, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has said.
Boilers were fixed and lifts were repaired through the extra funds, which were made available in last year’s budget on top of £81m already allocated for maintenance in 2018/19. Work completed so far includes roof repairs at Chester Crown Court, a refurbishment at Leeds Combined Court and improved security at Croydon Combined Court. Justice minister Paul Maynard said: ‘Regular improvement work is required.’
