Stoke-on-Trent courts

Stoke-on-Trent Combined Court

Bethesda Street, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 3BP. The combined court is in the city-centre area near The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery and Hanley Park. Check the official listing and your hearing notice because criminal work may be allocated between local courts.

North Staffordshire Justice Centre

Some Magistrates’ Court matters may be dealt with at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre. Never assume the venue from the allegation alone. Send the complete bail notice, summons or postal requisition to Ghafar Khan so the correct court and hearing time can be confirmed.

Police stations and custody in North Staffordshire

Staffordshire Police operates stations and custody facilities across the area, including the Northern Area Custody Facility in Etruria and operational stations in Longton and surrounding districts. Custody suites are not necessarily public enquiry offices. Confirm the exact location with the investigating officer and ask for Ghafar Khan before any interview.
