Defence representation in Ilkeston and Erewash

A police interview may shape the rest of a case. Ghafar Khan advises on general and serious allegations, including drugs, county-lines or conspiracy investigations, violence, fraud, money laundering, public order, driving and digital evidence.

Ilkeston Police Station

Derbyshire Constabulary says Erewash safer-neighbourhood teams operate from Ilkeston Police Station and the jointly used Long Eaton Fire Station. Confirm the actual interview, custody or bail-return location with the officer because operational functions differ between sites.

If detained, ask for Ghafar Khan by name. If invited voluntarily, call before agreeing the appointment. Free independent legal advice is available at the police station.

Court venue and travel

Ilkeston cases may be directed to Derby Magistrates’ Court, 18 St Mary’s Gate, Derby DE1 3JR, Nottingham Magistrates’ Court or another venue stated on the court papers. More serious matters can be sent to the Crown Court. Never assume a venue from a general web page.

Ilkeston railway station lies north of the town centre with services towards Nottingham and Chesterfield. Local buses connect with Derby and Nottingham. Erewash Museum and St Mary’s Church are familiar landmarks, but use the precise court address for travel.
