Delays in sentencing dangerous driver

Nathan Fitton, 26, of Lowther Drive, Leigh, had last year appeared before Wigan magistrates to plead guilty to tearing round Partington Street, Scot Lane, Martland Mill Lane and Houghton Avenue at break-neck speed in a Vauxhall Astra van on April 14 and doing so when uninsured and without a licence.

Sentence had been adjourned to this week for the preparation of reports.

But the hearing at court was told that longer was needed and so he will now learn his fate on February 19.

Fitton was released on unconditional bail until then, but an interim driving disqualification has been imposed on him.
