| Description: | The aim of the Court Estate Reform Programme (CERP) is to deliver a step change in financial efficiency in the provision of court based services, by disposing of surplus buildings and making more efficient use of retained buildings. The objectives are: To close a total of 140 courts in England & Wales. To reform Local Justice Areas (LJAs) to increase efficiency & effectiveness. To maintain acceptable standards of service in terms of time and travel costs incurred by court users in attending courts. To close sub-standard accommodation and provide a court estate that can evolve in line with developing MoJ policy, such as provision of facilities for live video links and greater community involvement in how justice is administered. |
