  1. John 'Goldfinger' Palmer: Paramedics' concerns ignored

    A paramedic called to treat a notorious criminal gunned down in his garden in Essex raised doubts about the cause of his fatal injuries, a report said.

    John "Goldfinger" Palmer, who previously ran a jewellery business in Bristol and lived in Bath, was initially thought to have died from natural causes in 2015. It took a week to establish he had been shot six times.

    A case review revealed a paramedic told police he doubted the conman's wounds were from recent keyhole chest surgery.

    But police officers at the scene were "not concerned", the report said.

  4. A120 campaign wins support from The U's

    A football club has given its backing a campaign to build a new A120 dual carriageway.

    The proposed options

    The  consultation  on the route options for the A120 between Braintree and the A12 closes on Tuesday.

    There are five proposed options.

    The campaign has won support from  Colchester United 's head coach John McGreal and current captain Chris Porter. 

    Matt Hudson, the club's media manager, said: "We were pleased to be able to back the campaign. 

    "The club has a great location adjacent to the A12, which has helped us build a strong business over the last nine years, and efforts to improve other parts of the road infrastructure can only be of benefit to the stadium, our business visitors and match-day supporters."
