Has anyone tried to obtain information about the new Probate Record Centre
in Birmingham that opened on Monday?
There was a brief note in The Times on Tuesday and then a brief item on
Channel 4 News on Wednesday night, but trying to access any information
from the internet seems difficult. The Principal Registry of the Family
Division's website has what appears to be a press release on it at
http://www.courtservice.gov.uk/wills_probate/menu_prob.htm
However clicking on the item, it refuses to open up.
The item on Channel 4 News showed a new building with the Hays storage logo on the side. Is this a public/private partnership
arrangement? I'd like to get some more information so that we can answer any queries we might get from our readers.
