Mark Andrew Platt, of Cockington Close, has been charged with two counts of death by dangerous driving and possession of cannabis.

Platt, a machine operator at Morrison's in Rudheath, was given bail to an address in Yorkshire on condition that he stays with his aunt and attends a police station daily.

The case was adjourned to Chester Crown Court on June 11.
