Sutton Bridge Parish Council is backing MP John Hayes in his fight to have Spalding Magistrates’ Court reopened.
Villagers are faced with a seven hour return rail trip to Lincoln to attend family court cases – and must go to Grantham or Boston for other cases. The court was de-listed without consultation on December 19. Councillors are writing to the South Holland and The Deepings MP to support his fight and will protest to the courts service.
