THE TRIAL for two fairground workers accused of the manslaughter of Summer Grant in Harlow Town Park in March 2016 is set for Apri.

A trial date of February 5th, 2018 was initially tabled but this has now been moved to April 16th.

Two fairground workers have pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of a girl who was fatally injured when the bouncy castle she was playing on blew away.

Summer Grant, seven, from Norwich, was visiting the funfair in Harlow Town Park, on 26 March 2016 and died later in hospital.

Shelby Thurston, 25 and William Thurston, 28, from Whitecross Road, Wilburton, Cambridgeshire appeared before Chelmsford Crown Court on Wednesday morning (Aug 16th).

The pair, who are on bail, also deny charges of failing to discharge a general health and safety duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
