A Llanidloes man will stand trial in April after denying a charge of being in charge of a car while above the alcohol limit.

Welshpool Magistrates’ Court on 2 February heard an update on the case of Colin Gledrie, of 17 Hafrenydd, Highgate Street.

At a hearing in December, the 67-year-old denied being in charge of a motor vehicle while above the alcohol limit near Llanidloes on 17 November this year.

Gledrie was due to stand trial at Welshpool Magistrates’ Court on 2 February, but magistrates have now moved the trial date to 20 April.

Gledrie was remanded on unconditional bail until the trial date.
