A trial date has been set for a Llanbadarn Fawr man who denied being in charge of a vehicle while above the alcohol limit.

Matthew Barratt, of Bwthyn Bronpadarn, Pen y Graig, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 13 October.

The 55-year-old pleaded not guilty at an earlier hearing in September to being in charge of a Ford Kuga while above the alcohol limit at the Thomas Parry Library building in Aberystwyth on 9 August this year.

Barratt is now due to stand trial on the charge at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 26 November.

He was remanded on unconditional bail until that date.
