A GRANDMOTHER'S case against Blackburn with Darwen Council's decision to take away her pet monkey has been adjourned until November 29.

Mary Stanton, 73, of Harrison Street, Blackburn, was refused a dangerous wild animals licence to keep her pet, Joe, earlier this year.

Environmental health officers said that Joe's cage was unsatisfactory and want to re-home him at the Monkey World sanctuary in Dorset.

The case will be heard by the town's magistrates.
