Lincoln’s coroner’s court has improved facilities for families
Upgraded coroner’s court facilities will improve support for families and public hearings, say bosses.
Lincolnshire County Council has revealed a major transformation of the coroner’s court at the Myle Cross Centre in Lincoln.
The improved facility now features refurbished courtrooms, enhanced spaces for families, and updated jury accommodation.
The Greater Lincolnshire Coroners Service hears more than 500 inquests a year.
The new-look court can now handle complex cases more efficiently.
The facility was officially reopened by Coun Sue Woolley (Con), executive councillor for registration services, alongside senior coroner Paul Smith and Martyn Parker, the county council’s assistant director for public protection.
Coun Woolley said: “I am delighted to open this new facility for Greater Lincolnshire.
“The coroners service plays such a vital part in supporting families through some of the most challenging times in their lives.
“This new court will allow the coroner to hear every type of coronial case which occurs across Greater Lincolnshire and provides improved facilities for both families and the public attending court.”
