Waveney MP Peter Aldous today commented on the announcement that Lowestoft County Court is amongst 157 Courts which the Ministry of Justice are looking to close in order to help reduce the budget deficit.

Mr Aldous said:

“This is part of the Coalition Government’s drive to reduce the huge budget deficit they have inherited. Any move that takes justice away from people is to be regretted. There will now be a period of consultation on the planned closure and I invite anyone who would like to express their concerns to write to me in order that I can represent their views.”
