A MAN has been fined for not following lane closure signals.

Colin Brown has been fined after his case was heard at North Cheshire Magistrates Court on March 25. 

Brown, of Impney Way, Droitwich, was charged with driving on a road, other than a motorway, and failing to comply with red/green arrow/lane closure light signals. 

The 59-year-old was not present at court as the hearing was held under the single justice procedure, which allows the court to prosecute people for driving offences without them being present.
