AFTER reading the new magistrates' court is going to be sited where the libary currently is in Bexleyheath, I was interested in knowing if anyone else thought this will be too near the shopping centre.

I used to work in a magistrates' court and I know the sort of people who hang around outside the front smoking and waiting for their friends.

At present the magistrates' court is away from the shopping centre so we do not have to look at the defendants and their friends going in and out of the courts.

I really don't think where the libary is at present is the best place for it to be.

I am aware not everyone going there will be horrible but like I said, I have seen it with my own eyes as I have worked at a magistrates' court.
