Suffolk will be left with one Magistrates Court as Ministry of Justice confirms Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft closures Campaigners who fought to save two Suffolk magistrates courts voiced their disappointment as it was confirmed the centres will be closed. Proposals by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to shut Bury St Edmunds Magistrates’ and Family Court and the North East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court in Lowestoft were met with widespread opposition, as officials said it would seriously hamper access to justice. But the concerns and objections from police, lawyers, councils, MPs, magistrates and the EADT’s Justice for Suffolk campaign failed to change the mind of the Government as they look to save millions of pounds by closing courts nationwide. The Lowestoft court is scheduled to shut its doors by July while the Bury court is due to close by September – although there was hope that some cases would still be heard in the town. But the overall effect will be to leave Suffolk with just one magistrates’ court, in Ipswich, and many of those involved in cases facing much longer journeys to court.
