A 40-year-old man is alleged to have telephoned and called at the house of a Ramsbottom woman, breaking a court-imposed restraining order.

Robert Hodkinson, from Fern Street, Ramsbottom, appeared before Bury magistrates accused of breaking the order after he allegedly telephoned and called at the home of Diane Bennett.

The case was adjourned until April 10 and Hodkinson was granted bail on condition he stay away from Miss Bennett and reside in Albert Road, Farnworth.
