A Newtown resident has narrowly avoided spending his Christmas and New Year in jail after breaching a restraining order prohibiting him from contacting his ex-partner.

According to the Powys County Times, Andrew Tanswell, who resides at The Bank in Newtown, was sentenced to 24 weeks in prison, but the sentence was suspended for 12 months after he pleaded guilty to three counts of breaching the restraining order at Mold Magistrates' Court on December 22.
