Plans for a female only court could come to Wirral, if government support for the scheme is agreed.
Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Emily Spurrell said she’s asked the Ministry of Justice for support to create a female only court in Wirral - the only part of Merseyside without one.
The request for a female offenders court in Wirral would be the expansion of a scheme that looks to identify why women commit crime and solve underlying issues. Sefton was the first area in the region to take part in 2019.
