Keep Hartlepool's Court Open. Say No to becoming a Ghost Town.

Closed 672 signatures

What the petition asks

The Ministry of Justice is proposing that Hartlepool's Courts close and that the service is transferred to Teesside. This will deprive the residents of the town of a vital service and will result in the denial of justice to some of the most needy & vulnerable in our society.
We Oppose the proposal
