A PROTESTER who pelted councillors with pennies will defy a council ban on her entering the town hall again.

Battling granny Audrey Hannah has been told her behaviour was totally unacceptable, could constitute a criminal offence and that she had been reported to the police for action.

A letter from the council's committee and member services officer, John Wells, tells Mrs Hannah she is no longer welcome at the town hall.

It adds that staff have been instructed to refuse her admission.

But the former Labour campaigner - whose protest over the way millions of pounds of housing aid cash was being allocated in the Daneshouse area of town forced councillors to dive for cover and adjourn the housing committee meeting until order was restored - was today unrepentant.

She says she will attend the full meeting of the town council on June 26 - and demand her right to address councillors over the issue.

Mrs Hannah of Cavour Street says her neighbours in Stoneyholme have been badly let down by the council.

She claims it promised the area millions of pounds in home improvement cash only to divert it to another area of Daneshouse ward.

"I believe money is being wasted and I won't be stopped from having my say in the town hall."
