Wind and heavy rain has been blamed for a second collapse of the roof at Truro Magistrates Court.

Court proceeding have been moved to Truro Crown Court today as a temporary measure, with cases moved to Bodmin Magistrates Court from tomorrow (Tuesday), until repiars are carried out.

Heavy rain was been blamed for the collapse of part of the roof of Truro Magistrates’ Court in late August.

The weather damage in August was caused while the roof was already being worked on.

At the time a HM Courts & Tribunals Service spokesperson said: “Due to damage caused by yesterday's heavy rain, Truro Magistrates' Court, which has been undergoing roof replacement works, has temporarily closed.

“Urgent court business has been transferred to neighbouring courts and we are working closely with contractors to re-open the building as soon as possible.”
