Proposal on the future of North Liverpool Community Justice Centre

Overview

This is a consultation proposal to close the North Liverpool Community Justice Centre and transfer the work of the Centre, and the principles of its problem solving approach, of the court to Sefton Magistrates' Court.

North Liverpool Community Justice Centre has operated from its Boundary Street site, a former primary school, since September 2005.   However, the local workload has fallen to the extent that the Centre is now underutilised.  In the light of current and future financial constraints it is increasingly difficult to justify the ongoing operation of the Boundary Street site.

Any breaking of the lease of this building will be subject to the outcome of this consultation and the consent of the landlord and will not take place before March 2014.

The consultation is aimed at court users, partners, staff and other parties with an interest in the provision of local justice arrangements in the North West of England, and in particular, the Merseyside Region.
