Dear all,

The cells were closed when I arrived at 9.30am, although I was allowed into the building and there was no-one to greet me or inform me whether the court was open or closed. 

Both enquiries desks were closed.

The CPS had no papers for any case and no list and I was told that custody cases were being taken to Thames MC.  

YOT were also in attendance for youth court cases.

One youth bail case of mine has now been listed at Thames MC, but others have not been listed here.

I have written to the Chief Clerk and asked for clarification of the court's plans and will update everyone if I hear.
