UK: Rollerblading 71-year-old government slave convicted of 'dangerous skating'

Father-of-three Geoffrey Dornan, of Normanhurst, Ormskirk, was accused of two counts of breaking a council bylaw by skating in Chapel Street in Southport, Merseyside, in October last year.

He was accused of two offences of skating, sliding or riding on footpaths in "such a manner as to cause danger or give reasonable grounds for annoyance" to pedestrians.

Dornan, who has been skating for more than seven years, denied breaking the bylaw and told North Sefton Magistrates' Court he had a "code of practice" which meant pedestrians always had an "unconditional" right of way.

The retired youth worker also told the court he tried to give people as much space as possible and used his Rollerblades responsibly.

But chairman of the bench Fraser Wallace said: "We find the manner of your skating put pedestrians at risk and exposed them to harm."

Mr Wallace said it was clear Chapel Street was not meant to be used as a "skate park" and said Dornan's behaviour "causes a danger" to the public
