<p>The table below provides the numbers of magistrates in the specified regions. We
have interpreted references to 'region' to mean the relevant local Advisory Committee
area. There is no magistrates’ court at the Kingston-upon-Hull Combined Court Centre.
The Hull and Holderness Magistrates' Court and Hearing Centre and the Kingston upon
Hull Magistrates' Court and Hearing Centre are one and the same.</p><p> </p><p>The
reduction in the number of magistrates in England and Wales reflects the workload
in the adult criminal court, which has fallen significantly over the last decade.
Being a magistrate remains a sought after role and competition for vacancies is strong.</p><p>
