From 5th September LCCSA ID cards which have long been used for access to police stations,  will authorise search-free entry to all courts and additionally fast-track entry at the following courts:

•          Wood Green Crown Court

•          Southwark Crown Court

•          Brighton Magistrates Court

•          Maidstone Combined Court

•          Tameside Magistrates court

This is a welcome development that will avoid queues and delays so members can get on with important pre-court work at the beginning of their day.
