On 23 June 2015, the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice announced his intention to work with the judiciary to reform the courts and tribunals in England and Wales. On the 16th July, both Halifax Courts are among the 91 Courts under consultation for CLOSURE! On the 22nd July 2015, a motion proposed by Councillor James Baker to save both Halifax Courts was unanimously passed by Calderdale Council.
A petition has been set up to oppose the closures of the Halifax Courts – to read about the potential effects of the closures and to add your name to the petition, visit the official petition on the change.org website
