Penalty raised
A WINCHESTER man who failed to turn up to do community service has been given some more.
Dean Bridger, 44, of Queens Mead, Stanmore, flouted a sentence by failing to show up to work sessions on December 5, 6 and 8.
So magistrates added 20 hours to the original sentence of 120 hours imposed on November 2 and told Bridger to pay costs of £20.
