Almost a year after he is alleged to have deliberately driven his car at cyclists on three separate occasions, a man from Cirencester is due to stand trial on three counts of dangerous driving.

The Swindon Advertiser reports that 39-year-old Dean Goble will face a jury on Tuesday, April 28.

After setting the trial date Judge Tim Mousley QC, at Swindon Crown Court, released Goble on bail.

Goble is alleged to have run cyclists off the road with a V-reg Peugeot 206 diesel turbo on Ashton Road in Ashton Keynes on Wednesday, April 30 2014.

He is also charged in relation to a similar incident on Wednesday May 7 on an unclassified road between Ewen and Cirencester, and a third on High Road, Ashton Keynes, on Thursday, May 8.
