A Shaw woman has been banned from the roads for driving without permission.

Barbara Kendall admitted the offences during a recent appearance at Tameside Magistrates’ Court.

She drove a Mercedes Benz on Huddersfield Road in Oldham in August this year without a licence or insurance.

The 27-year-old was fined £120.

As well as this the woman from Vine Close in Shaw was banned from the roads for a period of 20 months.

Kendall can have this ban reduced by 20 weeks if she completes a course.

The court took her guilt plea into account when determining the sentence to impose.
