Today could see the hottest September day in more than 50 years.

The Met Office, external says temperatures could potentially reach 31C (88F) in London, and here slightly lower at 30C (86F).

If the mercury rises above 31.6C (88.9F), which was reached at Gatwick on 2 September 1961, then it will be the hottest day for 55 years.

It's been the first day of term at Peterborough's new University Technical College, external (UTC). 

The new intake of students have been telling us what they hope to get out of their time there.

The college will take students aged from 14 upwards and is one of 50 in the country offering a joint academic and technical education.

Peterborough UTC was supposed to open last September but didn't have enough students signed up in time.

Regarding our story earlier about cyclists not using cycle lanes, is there a solution so they can be happy and not disrupt drivers?

Simon Pugh, a partner at David Lock and Associates, external, worked on the stretch of London Road in Peterborough which has been redesigned to accommodate cyclists, vehicles and pedestrians.  

He acknowledges there are several types of rider and that faster cyclists will always use the road, even where dedicated infrastructure is available.

He told us: "I don't think we can ever create cycle paths to keep all cyclists happy. All we can do is try to get the network expanded as best as possible."

Commenting on the video, external, he said: "Situations like this derive from impatience."

A cat whose curiosity got the better of it had to be rescued after getting stuck in a tree.

Mufty headed up the tree in the De Freville area of Cambridge on Friday - and refused to budge.

The cat's concerned owners contacted the RSPCA on Sunday and Cambridgeshire Fire Service ended up coming to the rescue of the scaredy-cat.

Mufty the moggie would probably be mortified by all this publicity, but it was a happy ending all around when the cat was safely reunited with its relieved owners.

We've just found out the blaze in Burwell was at Stanford Park, a camping and caravan site run by John Stanford.

Image source, Cambs Fire and Rescue Service

He told me about 20 people had to be evacuated from their caravans at about 12:00, when fire took hold in outbuildings and a stable block.

No-one was hurt and holidaymakers were moved for a couple of hours as a precaution, as the buildings contained gas cylinders.

Mr Stanford told me his outbuildings had been completely destroyed by the blaze.

"There must have been about 10 engines here at its height," he said. "But most of them have gone and they're just damping down now."

Have you seen it yet? A video of a car driver undertaking a group of cyclists on a cycle path near Cottenham has been viewed more than one million times.

It attracted comments asking why so many cyclists use roads rather than dedicated cycle paths.

Many riders have responded saying the paths just aren't good enough.

Michael Hutchinson, a former British and Irish cycling champion who lives near Cambridge, said one of the problems with cycle paths is there are "different types of cyclists".

These include people going to school and at the other end, a cycling club out for a training run and riding quickly.

"There's not a one-size-fits-all, are the paths OK argument," he said.

"Cyclists will often ride in the road in preference to some paths because they genuinely don't feel safe to use them, and for others to have to share with them."

Lorry driver Danny Warby has been sentenced to six years in prison and banned from driving for 10 years for causing a crash in which an off-duty police officer was killed.

During the seven day trial in August, the court heard Warby had been using his mobile phone and responded to a text message moments before the crash near Wyton. He'd previously been convicted of using a mobile phone while driving among other motoring offences.

PC Pete Bimson, who investigated the crash, said the case was a "tragic incident", adding: "Use of a mobile phone will be picked up by officers investigating the causes behind any collision and it's an offence taken very seriously by police and the courts."
