City beach closed due to anti-social behaviour and litter

thetic team controlled the pain through a non-intubated method, meaning the operation was tubeless and the patient kept spontaneou­sly breathing on a gaseous mixture of oxygen, air and sevofluran­e, free of opioids.

Performing thoracic operations in this way reduces the risk of respirator­y complicati­ons and improves patient recovery time compared to surgical procedures that involve opening up the patient’s chest under general anaestheti­c.

Following the operation, Ray was in hospital for a week, before being allowed home.

Earlier this year, while speaking to The Peterborou­gh Telegraph, he said: “I can do almost everything I could before.

“I can’t carry heavy shopping, or do theHooveri­ng, but I can do pretty much everything else.

“I get a bit out of breath sometimes, but other than that, I am fighting fit.

“I had the occasional bit of pain when coughing for the first day but that’s it really – I could walk and move about fine even just a couple of days afterwards which I really was not expecting.”

Ryan said Ray had been incredibly grateful to the team at Papworth, as well as the nurses at Peterborou­gh City Hospital.

He said; “He was so incredibly appreciati­ve of all of the nurses on the oncology ward at Peterborou­gh hospital as they held his hand in his last moments.

“He was so thankful to Giuseppe (Aresu, consultant surgeon) and the team of surgeons at Papworth Hospital. They gave him hope and they beat one cancer with his world’s first operation but sadly the cancer appeared somewhere else and beat him.

“If the team at Papworth didn’t do the operation they did he wouldn’t have lasted the last 6 months we had with him.”

A beach in Peterborou­gh has been shut due to anti-social behaviour and littering.

Hampton beach has been closed to residents from after a series of concerns were raised/

O&H Land, in consultati­on with Persimmon Homes, the fire service, the police and Peterborou­gh City Council cordoned off an area of the beach on Monday morning (June 29).

This decision was made following a number of incidents of anti-social behaviour, littering, and a number of people entering the water despite the signage round the lake telling them not to do so due to the danger that this presents

Lee Collins, Developmen­t Manager at O&H Land, commented: “Following a Dispersal Order issued by the Police on the evening of

June 25, we have decided to temporaril­y close Hampton Beach. The health and safety of everyone on our land be it the residents of Hampton, the general public or our contractor­s working for us, is our top priority.

“It was therefore agreed, in consultati­on with all the relevant local authoritie­s, that a temporary closure of this area was the safest way forward.

“The lakes are very deep and cold, and the signage prohibitin­g entering the water is not being adhered to. This coupled with the actions of a few have given me serious concern that an accident could occur. The closure of Hampton Beach will give us time to reassess the area and decide on a new strategy which enables people to enjoy the lakeside setting in the safest way possible.”
