The trial of a Wigan mum who denies failing to prevent her child's truancy has been postponed until the spring.

Nicola Swanton had been due to stand trial before borough justices over an accusation that she did not do enough to ensure her son's regular attendance at Beech Hill Primary School during this year's spring term.

But the case has now been adjourned until March 5.
