ANOTHER local government committee has joined the chorus of disapproval over proposals which would see a three magistrates courts close across North Yorkshire.
The deadline for comment on the Magistrates' Court Committee's streamlining plans expired on January 11.
However, a number of North Yorkshire County Council area committees had not had an opportunity to meet before then and were given special dispensation to file their comments late.
Richmondshire members met last week and voted unanimously to oppose the suggested closure of Richmond Magistrates' Court by next December.
Other courts facing the axe include Pickering and Whitby
