Police-station advice in Cirencester and the Cotswolds

Cirencester and much of the Cotswolds are served by Gloucestershire Constabulary. Rural geography can mean that the custody or interview location is outside the town where an incident occurred. Confirm the station and time from your bail or voluntary-attendance notice.

Use the official police local-area service to check current public contact information. In an emergency call 999; for non-emergency police contact call 101. Those numbers do not replace requesting a solicitor for interview.

Local Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court route

Cirencester Law Courts are at North Way, Cirencester, GL7 2PG. Criminal court allocation can vary, and serious cases may be heard at Gloucester Crown Court, Longsmith Street, Gloucester, GL1 2TS. Rely on your current HMCTS notice.

Check the official HMCTS court listing before travel because addresses, opening arrangements and listings can change. A solicitor cannot simply move a hearing to another court; any application must be based on the case and the court’s powers.

Travelling to court

Cirencester has no mainline railway station; Kemble is commonly used for rail connections, followed by bus or taxi. The Market Place and parish church are central landmarks. Rural travel should be planned with extra time.
