A TRIAL date has been set to hear allegations against a woman facing cruelty charges following an RSPCA investigation.
Rosalind Gregson, 55, of Wellbank, Lindeth Road, Silverdale, denies 69 charges involving 61 dogs and eight birds kept at her home.
She faces 48 allegations of confining animals in unsuitable conditions and a further 21 of failing to provide proper care and attention.
The offences are alleged to have been committed between August and September, 2003.
At Preston magistrates' court, District Judge Peter Ward fixed the trial for May 18. It is likely to last for two weeks.
