A man is to go on trial next year after he denied an offence of wounding.

James Cropper, 40, appeared at Burnley Crown Court on Thursday (November 28).

He entered not guilty pleas to wounding without intent and causing actual bodily harm.

Cropper, of Rifle Street, Haslingden, allegedly committed the offences in April 2022.

He will face a trial starting on August 19, 2025. A pre-trial review was scheduled for June 24, 2025.

He was bailed until the next hearing.
