Plea for safety measures on dangerous Peterbrough road
A call has been made for better signs and speed-calming measures to tackle dangerous driving on a city Knight, an Independent member on Peterborough City Council for Orton Waterville, said speeding on Goldhay Way was "ridiculous", and it was becoming a "hotspot for road crashes".She said the road with sharp bends was badly lit with trees covering street lights, and she feared more accidents would comes after a 57-year-old cyclist was critically injured in a hit-and-run on Goldhay Way on Saturday. It happened between Burswood and Kinnears Walk at about 18:30 BST, with the driver failing to stop at the scene, police said. Ms Knight said the pedestrian and cycle paths on both sides of the road had safety barriers removed a few years ago.A spokesperson for the council said the barriers were removed "as part of improving the cycle route to the south of Goldhay Way. This was done because staggered barriers can be inaccessible to some users". Ms Knight said a speed camera was "set alight at least twice before it was taken out of use".She added: "Pushing for a 20mph [limit] is not going to work. People don't care [about a speed limit] ... unless it is enforceable."Angus Ellis, the council's Labour cabinet member for transport, said: "We were saddened to hear about the collision on Goldhay Way and we will be working with the police to review the area and consider our options."

Man who was living off-grid to be sentenced for murder of dogwalker
A man who murdered a grandmother on her morning dog walk in a 'vicious and brutal attack' while he was living off-grid to avoid recall to prison is to be sentenced. Roy Barclay, 56, subjected 57-year-old Anita Rose to 'numerous kicks, stamps and blows' as she walked her springer spaniel Bruce in Brantham, Suffolk, on July 24 2024. The mother of six was found by passers-by but died in hospital four days later. Barclay, who denied murder but was found guilty following an earlier trial at Ipswich Crown Court, is due to be sentenced at the same court on Wednesday. Ms Rose's eldest daughter, who gave her name as Jess, said after Barclay's conviction last month that 'criminals cannot remain at large'. 'There's too much at stake and our communities need protecting,' she said. She continued: 'We need to make sure that our communities are safe and that people are monitored, that criminals are taken back to prison when they break the terms of their probation.' Barclay had previously been convicted and jailed over a 2015 attack on a pensioner. Prosecutors said this bore similarities to the attack on Ms Rose. Barclay had been released from prison in February 2020 but had not been living at a fixed address. He had been wanted on recall at the time of his attack on Ms Rose over a breach of his licence conditions. It is understood that the Probation Service issued a recall notice for Barclay following a breach of his licence conditions. Suffolk Police said there would be a review of information-sharing processes. Judge Martyn Levett warned Barclay, after jurors returned their guilty verdict: 'The sentence is one that inevitably is going to be life in prison, and the length of it is going to be very lengthy.' Prosecutor Christopher Paxton KC earlier told the court that Barclay 'lived mostly in the countryside, wandering the fields and lanes, sleeping in various makeshift camps'. 'He lived off-grid because for two years, Roy Barclay had been unlawfully at large,' said Mr Paxton. 'He had been on the run trying to avoid the police and authorities to try and avoid being recalled back to prison.' Jurors were told that Barclay had previously pleaded guilty, over a separate incident in 2015, to grievous bodily harm with intent over an attack on an 82-year-old man in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. The pensioner, Leslie Gunfield, had told Barclay that he would inform security about him going through rubbish bins at a Co-op supermarket, the court heard. Mr Gunfield was left with serious injuries to his head and required 10 titanium plates for fractures he suffered after being attacked by Barclay. He was found with a dog lead wrapped around his foot, which the prosecution said was similar to the way Ms Rose's body was found, with a dog lead 'tightly' wrapped around her leg.
