A WHITEGATE couple accused of child neglect are set to go before a jury at Chester Crown Court.
Reginald Blandford, 40, and Karen Leahy, 40, are alleged to have left a child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, unattended and surrounded by broken crockery, wine bottles and ashtrays as they slept upstairs.
The pair elected a Crown Court trial and will be committed from magistrates to Chester on December 2.
