Shrewsbury Crown Court move to new building delayed by IT problems
The move of Shrewsbury Crown Court from its outdated building at the town's Shirehall to a newly refurbished Criminal Justice Centre on Preston Street has been delayed.
After months of work, the former Magistrates Court has been remodelled and court staff were anticipating to move in on Monday next week.
But now the move date has been pushed back after IT problems within the court system caused a delay.
The Ministry of Justice has not been able to set a new date for the relocation.
A spokesperson for HM Courts and Tribunals Service said: “The IT issues last week meant our suppliers were unable to complete the work needed to relocate Shrewsbury Crown Court.
“We are closely reviewing the situation, and will set a revised move date as soon as possible.”
