A MAN accused of sending his former partner a grossly offensive T-shirt has been remanded in custody.

Stephen Hanson allegedly sent the indecent item of clothing to his ex’s home in Milnsbridge between May 20 and 24.

The 28-year-old is also accused of assaulting her, occasioning her actual bodily harm.

He denies the charges and faces trial at Kirklees Magistrates’ Court on July 26. Hanson, of Carr Street in Liversedge, has pleaded guilty to harassment through phone calls and Facebook messages and criminal damage to a wooden door.

He will be sentenced for these following the hearing. Magistrates formally remanded Hanson, who appeared at the Huddersfield court via a prison video link, into custody until his trial. work. Garry said: “Fortunately I am going on my summer holidays the first week and I guess that these things have to be done.

“Lidget Street is a very well used road with people attending appointments and relatives at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary so it’s bound to get very busy.

“Where the traffic lights get put up will be very close to my shop.’’

Northern Gas says a three-way temporary traffic lights at the junction of East Street, West Street and Lidget Street will operate from July 24.

The three-way temporary traffic lights will remain until work progresses away from the junction down towards West Street where the lights will become two-way.

Works have been planned in conjunction with Kirklees Council to ensure the scheme is completed with as little disruption as possible.

Yorkshire Water roadworks which were due to have finished near the fire station on Clough Lane, Rastrick, yesterday are still ongoing. Hopefully they will be completed today.
