牛津地方法院在案件数量和积压增加的情况下,于1月5日(2026年)关闭了6个月的翻修工程。 Oxford Magistrates' Court closes Jan 5, 2026, for 6 months of renovations amid rising caseloads and backlogs.

牛津地方法院将从2026年1月5日起关闭,为期六个月,进行基本翻修,包括更换屋顶,作为1.485亿英镑的国家法院维修方案的一部分。 Oxford Magistrates' Court will close from January 5, 2026, for six months to undergo essential renovations, including a roof replacement, as part of a £148.5 million national court maintenance program. 结案期间,案件将转至Read、High Wycombe和Milton Keynes。 Cases will be relocated to Reading, High Wycombe, and Milton Keynes during the closure. 这一行动是继联合王国治安法庭案件数量创历史新高(全国361,027起,比上一年增加25%)以及牛津积压案件不断增加(到2025年6月,尚未结案的案件增加到561起)之后采取的。 The move follows a record rise in UK magistrates’ court caseloads—361,027 nationally, up 25% from the previous year—and growing backlogs in Oxford, where open cases rose to 561 by June 2025. 官员强调必须改善安全和效率,议员和警察则强调必须尽量减少对受害者和司法行动的干扰。 Officials emphasize the need for improved safety and efficiency, while MPs and police stress the importance of minimizing disruption to victims and justice operations.
