A WILMSLOW man accused of following women in a vehicle and filming them will stand trial next year.

Jonathan Wilford, of Broad Walk, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Thursday, May 14, facing two charges of stalking involving serious distress.

While in the dock, the 29-year-old entered not guilty pleas to both charges.

The court heard that Wilford is alleged to have filmed two women and followed them in a vehicle in Wilmslow between April 7 and April 15 this year.

Wilford was remanded on conditional bail and will now stand trial at Chester Crown Court in April 2027.

He must not contact or approach the women, and must live and sleep each night at his Broad Walk address.

Next year's trial is expected to last around four days.
