The enabling works required need to be completed before we move additional court business into Croydon as part of wider work to make the best use of the most suitable buildings in the court estate, including the closure of Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court .
We have been working with contractors on what needs to be done to the Croydon Magistrates' Court building to enable it to accommodate this extra work. The most recent and detailed reports have shown that more work is needed than was originally anticipated and will need the installation of site hoarding and internal scaffolding in the public concourse. As this would create too much disruption we will temporarily close the court for a few months while the work is carried out.
While the court is temporarily closed:
- Criminal cases will be heard in Camberwell, Wimbledon and Lavender Hill
- Family cases will be transferred to Wandsworth County Court.
We will be updating local court users directly and will update this page with dates as soon as they are confirmed.
