I've given the court one star, as it was open! My son was there ... appointment time 10am. There were at least 20/30 people there, all with the same appointment time of 10am! At 1pm, after enquiring how much longer it would be, the lady told everyone that no one would be seen untill after 2pm! Absolutely shocking!!!
Patrick the security guard could not have been kinder or more helpful.
I attended Harrogate Magistrates Court with my mum who is paralysed and in a wheelchair. One of the security guards was rude and unhelpful to her asking her if she could walk on two occasions. Finally they said she couldn’t access the court as the lift wasn’t working and had been like that for over two years. My mum said what if she had been the defendant having to go into Court. It is basically unacceptable in this day and age in a public Court building that it is not accessible to everyone. An utter disgrace to Harrogate Council……do they not have disabled people in North Yorkshire?
Lost my licence due to an officer who hasn't performed a full 100% check on the speed camera device. The magistrates favoured the officer side due to his lack of testing and also i received a CPS letter less than a week from the court hearing which was unfair for me, then to a point the court found me guilty.
Impossible to get through on the phone lines. Seems to be the case with any government agency/public service post Covid!! I'll send a letter, recorded delivery so I know they received it. Unlike what they done for me!!
