We will consider all identified impacts once the consultation closes and all responses have been fully analysed. To ensure that access to justice is maintained, even in more rural locations, we are committed to providing alternative ways for users to access our services, including the use of other civic buildings. We are building a justice system which is simpler, swifter and more efficient. By using modern technology we can meet the needs of everyone who uses our services now and in the future.
