A COUNCILLOR has criticised the sentence handed down to a man who killed a father, two children and the family dog through dangerous driving. David Christopher Logan was jailed for ten years and ten months at Preston Crown Court after he admitted three counts of dangerous driving, drink driving and criminal damage. The former soldier killed pedestrians Joshua James Flynn, Skylar Flynn, Coby-Jay Flynn and their pet dog Troy while the family members were out on a Father’s Day walk on Abbey Road near Dalton in June last year. Logan, 48, was also banned from getting behind the wheel for 16 years and five months.
A Barrow councillor has commended a Dalton pub landlord for his impressive charity work. Dalton South councillor, Steve Nott, praised Paul Kell, landlord at the Newton Arms, after donating £700 to Furness Homeless Support Group. Mr Kell had raised the money by holding a birthday fundraiser and has revealed he is delighted with the amount of donations. A cheque of £330 was paid to the charity on Monday, with £370 donated online. Cllr Nott has now highlighted Mr Kell s generosity. He said: “It really is a fantastic gesture from Paul Kell. It s been a tough year for all those in the pub trade and the Newton, when allowed to, has really tried to encourage the community to visit by holding various events and showcasing local bands as they always have.
