Whittlesey man jailed after pleading guilty to actual bodily harm and intentional strangulation….

A man who “just switched” and attacked a woman following a night out with her has been jailed. 
Dominic Bevilacqua, 25, assaulted the victim on the evening of November 4 last year at his home in Anglers Avenue, Whittlesey.
The victim, who had been in an on-off relationship with Bevilacqua, said out of nowhere he “just switched” and grabbed her hair and dragged her off the bed.

Bevilacqua then punched her in the face multiple times before placing his hands around her neck and strangling her.
He also kicked and punched her in the face before she escaped and drove home.

The victim attended hospital the following day for treatment.

Bevilacqua was arrested on November 6 and tried to blame the victim’s behaviour for the assault.
However, on Friday (January 23), at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court, acting as a crown court, Bevilacqua was jailed for 20 months, having pleaded guilty to actual bodily harm and intentional strangulation.

Weekly  at least, ongoing I can only speak for myself, am contacted about the 
POT HOLE issues….so further to my earlier article from a very concerned resident, to which 3 of our Councillors have engaged…

Wisbech residents and councillors call for ‘unavoidable potholes’
to be fixed to a ‘higher standard’

A resident fears that the “dangerous” potholes in Wisbech could be the root of accidents if something is not done about them soon.

Wisbech and the surrounding areas seem riddled with potholes, with some of the worst located on the town’s main roads, including Churchill Road, Lynn Road and Sutton/Wisbech Road (A1101) towards Long Sutton.

Wisbech Conservative councillor Steve Tierney said the Lib Dems at Cambs County Council do not prioritise roads or spend enough on them.
He said: “I tell them this regularly.

“I do not think I have ever had as many people contact me about the state of the highways as a councillor as I have in the last couple of months.

(RG picture)

“I have never stopped banging on about the fact that we need more money and more focus on our highways, but unfortunately, the leadership at the county council does not seem to agree, as they never do it.

RG Note:- This should not be ‘political’ – the roads were just as bad when the conservative administration was in charge of Cambs CC – although I will add, they appears to be addressed and fixed in a more timely way back then.

The road conditions for Cambridgeshire were rated as amber, with green being the highest score for maintaining roads and red the lowest.

Cambridgeshire County Council has announced that this year it will be investing £73million in highways maintenance across the county, which is being used to repair roads as well as cycleways, footpaths and other highway assets as part of “ensuring safe travel is a key priority”.

RG Note:- £73M – Just not enough – but spend more on roads, means less somewhere else.
