I didn’t choose the lift life ⬆️⬇️ the lift life chose me.

Today is a very momentous day for Maidstone Crown Court, and for me both personally and professionally, as HHJ Philip Statman retires, having become the second longest serving circuit judge in the country. CVP link available for those who can't make it in person at 3.45pm.

Today is the Valedictory for His Honour Judge Statman, one of the finest judges this court has ever seen. His exemplary service and commitment to justice has elevated the standard of the justice. The valedictory will take place at 15:45 in court 7👨🏻‍⚖️

Maidstone CC celebrated its 40th anniversary with 200+ attendees incl. the Lady Chief Justice, President of the King’s Bench Division, Senior Presiding Judge and Deputy Senior Presiding Judge. The memorable moment was when the Lady Chief Justice shouted me out. Life complete 🫡

THERE IS A BRAND SPANKING NEW WORKING LIFT AT MAIDSTONE. IT WORKS. AND… AND… WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON AND CALL FOR THE LIFT, ONE ARRIVES AND TAKES YOU UP AND DOWN. SAFELY. IT DOESN’T STOP BETWEEN FLOORS OR MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN FINAL DESTINATION. IT WORKS.

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

There is no working lift at Maidstone Crown Court. The goods lift, which was being offered ‘as a gesture of good will’, has also broken down. @HMCTSgovuk what are you doing about this?

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

Both public lifts are out of order for the foreseeable future. Court participants with accessibility issues are unable to enter the court rooms and other areas of the court. The entire court is falling apart. What are you doing about it? @HMCTSgovuk

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

This sounds like a task for yours truly… #SnazzyBCC

[Kate Riekstina @kriekstina]

Petition to rename Snaresbrook Crown Court to “Snazzy B Crown Court”… Someone important start this PLZ 🥹

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

@juroberts_julia Rest assured, I will remain. Let’s call it an extreme makeover.

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

@AnneMHargreaves @CourtsKent @CourtsIdle Only just.

[Julia Roberts @juroberts_julia]

Problems with the cells at Maidstone Crown today, hence the heavily-reduced court list. But the cafe is still open and the lifts working. Miracles do happen!

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

@juroberts_julia I really am a miracle, aren’t i? 🥹

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

@stevenelson77 Happy to be IN service.

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

New Year, old me. Old broken me. Is it 2024 yet?

[Julia Roberts @juroberts_julia]

New year but no new canteen at Maidstone Crown Court yet. No sign of the eagerly-anticipated vending machines either. But at least one thing is consistent, with one of two @MaidstoneCCLift still out of action.....

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

@worldwidewedd Only @HMCTSgovuk would provide a bucket with holes to help with a leak. Quite analogous if you ask me.

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

@TuckersKent HOME SWEET HOME

[Kent Courts @CourtsKent]

After a long wait, Maidstone Crown Court is to get a new team to run a canteen. Forks and Corks is asking for suggestions for its breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea menus. It'll open on the 3rd floor in January... when hopefully bacon butties will be available for northerners!

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

@juroberts_julia @dreabecker @charlie_hfd I said I was in service. I did not say how quick or slow 😁

[Maidstone Crown Court Lift @MaidstoneCCLift]

@stevenelson77 @juroberts_julia Wow. Stephen… thank you. True love conquers all.
