A Wigan 51-year-old has denied making a threatening phone call.

Garry Atkinson, of Churchfield, Shevington, appeared before local justices to plead not guilty to a charge under the Malicious Communications Act that he menaced Leon Back in a phone call on December 6 2022.

He was bailed until a trial at the same court on September 3.
