A trial date has been set for a Welwyn Garden City man who was charged with terrorism offences.
Longcroft Lane resident Warren Sneddon, 44, appeared at the Old Bailey last Friday after being charged with several terrorism-related offences, as well as possession of a firearm without a licence and the cultivation of cannabis.
