The closure of Bicester Magistrates Court will result in more failed cases, according to the Police and Crime commissioner for the Thames Valley.
Anthony Stansfeld said he is disappointed in the closure and that the distance that victims and witnesses will have to travel for court will mean more failed cases.
It comes as an announcement on Thursday, February 11, confirmed the Queens Avenue court will be closed down by next spring.
Mr Stansfeld said: "I am disappointed that the Ministry of Justice has decided to close three Magistrates Courts in the Thames Valley, those in Aylesbury, Bicester and Newbury.
"It has made this decision in spite of the response to its own consultation showing overwhelming opposition.
"It will result in more failed cases as victims and witnesses will have to travel long distances to get to courts. It will waste a considerable amount of police time getting officers to courts."
Bicester Magistrates' Court was one of 91 court and tribunal buildings across the country listed as contenders to be shut because it was running at 11 per cent of capacity.
The court will be closed down for good some time between January and March next year along with 85 other courts by the end of 2017.
