Almost half of the temporary Nightingale Courts set up at the start of the pandemic are to close, the Ministry of Justice has announced.

Justice minister James Cartlidge said Nightingale Courts were still "a valuable weapon in the fight against the pandemic's unprecedented impact on our courts, providing temporary extra capacity"., meant "we are beginning to see the backlog drop so victims can get the speedier justice they deserve".
Others in Maidstone, Chichester, Telford, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Leeds, Swansea, Cirencester and Fleetwood will all stay open until March 2023.
