About Stoke-on-Trent Combined Court Centre
The Stoke-on-Trent Combined Court Centre opened on 5 December 1991, replacing the former criminal court facilities at Hanley Town Hall in Albion Square. Designed by the Property Services Agency in a Modernist red-brick style, the building was constructed at a cost of £9.5 million and was officially opened by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Lane. The court centre serves as both a Crown Court for criminal proceedings and a County Court for civil matters, making it one of the key judicial venues in Staffordshire. The Crown Court location code is 456, and the DX address is 703190 Hanley 3.
Types of Cases Heard
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court deals exclusively with indictable and either-way criminal offences that have been committed for trial or sentencing from local North Staffordshire magistrates' courts. Cases commonly listed include serious assault and violent offences, drug supply and trafficking charges, robbery, burglary, fraud, sexual offences, firearms offences, and dangerous driving. Sentencing hearings for cases originally tried at magistrates' court level but committed to the Crown Court for heavier sentencing are also regularly scheduled. The court has video conferencing and prison-to-court video link facilities available by prior arrangement, which are frequently used for remand hearings and pre-trial reviews.
