A consultation on reform of the courts and tribunals estate has just started, proposed reforms include the closure of many tribunal venues and increasing the use of digital techology to access justice. See https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposal-on-the-provision-of-court-and-tribunal-estate-in-england-and-wales for more information.

We found out first because someone was overheard in Monster Bite talking about it (which is a cafe near the court building).
