Plaid Politican Continues to Fight for Court
Following the publication of Lord Justice Goldring’s report last week which noted the decision to close Ammanford Magistrates’ Court may be determined by the rural locations which the Court serves, local politician Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM has raised concerns directly to the UK Government’s Secretary of State for Justice. Calling the Ministry of Justice’s basis for consultation “disingenuous”, the elected member raises a catalogue of errors which formed the consultation and have not been addressed in the Lord Justice’s report.
Rhodri Glyn Thomas said:
“Whilst the Magistrates’ Court has seen a sense of reprieve in the Lord Justice’s report on the rural communities in the county, both Jonathan and I have grave concerns that the Secretary of State will take the Lord Justice’s report at face value, and as a consequence, the significant errors in the consultation paper will not be addressed. We believe there is a strong case to keep the Court open and urge the Secretary of State to note these fundamental errors”.
