THE family of a pensioner who was killed by a hit-and-run driver will make a fresh appeal for information next week.

Bill Hendry, 75, was knocked down while crossing Stockwell Lane, Knaresborough with his dog, Abby, at 9.38am on February 26, 2007. The driver did not stop at the scene, and Mr Hendry died in hospital the same day.

On Monday, his family will lay flowers at the scene of the crash and appeal to anyone who may have been in the area but has not previously spoken to police to contact the force.
