A BARROW pensioner has been given a restraining order after admitting harassing a woman over six years.

Geoffrey Dodson admitted a charge of harassment when he appeared at South Cumbria Magistrates Court.

The 67-year-old, of Goldsmith Street, banged and kicked on doors and shouted at the woman in the street.

He was fined £100, told to pay £100 compensation and a £30 surcharge.

A restraining order prohibiting him from contacting, directly or indirectly, the victim was made.
