A former Helston town councillor is calling on local dads to join him in a campaign for fathers' rights.

Steve Abraham, of Jubilee Terrace, is planning to set up a local branch of the Fathers 4 Justice group, which has hit the headlines in recent years with a series of daring stunts designed to draw attention to their cause.

Mr Abraham, 40, said he wanted to highlight the problems many divorced and separated men faced in gaining access to their children.

"There are lots of men who don't have proper access to their kids. Sometimes there are good reasons but quite often there aren't. Lots of fathers are afraid to speak out because they don't want to upset anyone." Mr Abraham can be contacted on 07791 511215.
