Evidence from the Scottish Conservatives has revealed crumbling court buildings across Lanarkshire require nearly £740,000 worth of repairs.
Lanarkshire MSP, Graham Simpson, has slammed the SNP for short-changing the court service and warned that a failure to carry out repair work risked the backlog of court cases growing even larger in his region.
More than £500,000 is needed to upgrade Hamilton Sheriff Court, £11,000 for Hamilton JP Court and £175,000 at Airdrie Sheriff Court.
