Court Closure, Coalition plan to go ahead with closure despite advice of top judge... Options

[Richard Garvie]

Why not just conceed that our MP did what he was elected to do and that your involvement was worth nothing?

Personally, all I did was ask numerous party colleagues to make enquiries with the relevant minister, and the more people fighting our cause the better. So yes, my personal involvement was pretty worthless, I'm not trying to say that this result is anything to do with me. But the only reason Mr Benyon pulled his finger out in recent weeks was due to criticism in the media. Mr Benyon seems to be taking credit for saving both the Magistrates and County Courts, so is he unaware that the county court is to close, or have all of the media outlets reported this in mistake?
