A St Ives drink driver was banned from driving for 15 months after appearing in court this week.

Charmain Goulden, of Barnoon Terrace, was caught driving down St Ives Road on June 26 while more than one-and-a-half times the legal limit.

The 43-year-old pleaded guilty to the offence at Truro Magistrates' Court on Thursday.

She was fined £110, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £20 and costs of £85.

Her licence will be taken away for 15 months, to be reduced by 15 weeks if she succesfully completes a drink driving rehabilitation course before May 4 next year.
