King's Lynn magistrates court re-opens after coronavirus shutdown

Lynn's magistrates court has re-opened following the coronavirus shutdown.

Cases resumed at the College Lane site this week, following a three-month closure due to the pandemic.

Ministry of Justice officials say most cases will be heard in person, rather than via remote links as used by crown courts during the crisis.

However, the number of defendants listed to appear per day is being reduced in order to maintain social distancing.
