A WEST Craven woman has been issued with an indefinite restraining order after embarking on a poison pen-style letter-writing campaign.

Kathleen Pedder, 68, sent numerous pieces of “distressing” correspondence to Adrian Palethorpe between October 2015 and October 2016, Pennine magistrates were told.

Pedder, of York Street, Barnoldswick, who admitted to a harassment charge, was also fined £250 and told to pay £85 court costs and a £30 victim surcharge by magistrates.
