An inmate who tried to kill the man who famously attacked Soham murderer Ian Huntley in prison has pleaded guilty to attempted murder.

Kevin McCarthy, 49, of HMP Whitemoor, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court this morning via video link charged with trying to kill Damien Fowkes, 41. 

He's due to be sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court tomorrow.

The incident happened at the prison just north of the town of March in October 2016.

The victim, who's serving time for attempting to murder Ian Huntley at HMP Frankland in 2010, was taken to hospital where he was treated for life-threatening injuries to his neck.

Enforcement officers at Cambridge City Council will be cracking down on people who are leaving scorch marks on green spaces by not using dedicated barbecue spaces in the city.

Last year the council installed some barbecue stones near the bandstand area on Jesus Green, plus a dedicated bin for their safe disposal.

But it seems people are already choosing to ignore the warnings and use grassy areas, something which council officers say is a fire threat.

Anna Smith, Labour's Cambridge City councillor responsible for streets and open spaces, said it's "something that we notice quite a lot".

"With scorch marks, it takes an awful lot of time for the grass to recover," she said.

"We're not in a position or able to issue fixed penalty notices and we're certainly not planning to take people to court for it. But it isn't something we've found we've needed to do. We very rarely find people are not co-operating.

"It is about just educating people to go to the right places."

Shaun Whiter, 28, was a keen footballer who had played for Soham Town and was due to begin training with Newmarket Town... and he working as an estate agent in Stansted Mountfitchet at the time of the crash.

He's now pedalled 150 miles (240km) by hand, to raise money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, external, as part of the Ipswich Town FC Tour of Suffolk, external.

He told us: "I went to meet them [the EAAA] the other day, and found out every time they take off it costs £2,500, so that was the goal, to raise over £2,500 so that it could save some else's life, not just mine."

Work to improve three car parks in Cambridge has begun, with preparation work on the roof of the Grand Arcade under way.

There'll be a 20% reduction in spaces at times while the £1.2m refurbishment takes place at the Grand Arcade, Queen Anne Terrace and Grafton East car parks. By our calculations, that's just short of 500 spaces that will be affected.

The work will be completed by 24 September.

Earlier we brought you news that several GP surgeries across Cambridgeshire were still experiencing difficulties with their computer systems due to last week's cyber attack.

I've spent the day at Riverside Practice in March which has been experiencing problems.

Dr David Donovan said it had been "stressful".

"The internet keeps crashing, we can't do any dictation, access results or order blood forms," he said.

"We had a patient who tried to get a cancer appointment - he couldn't. That engendered a lot of anxiety.

"As always it's communication. When it breaks down we have issues.

"We spoke about [the threat] across the weekend and we did have a disaster recovery plan in place using laptops and public NHS wifi, but if we hadn't put that work in on Sunday it could've been much worse."

Dr Donovan confirmed the surgery was back up and running by early afternoon.

As pre-season fixture lists for both Peterborough United and Cambridge United start to form, I've been doing a bit of number crunching over last season's attendances at the Abax Stadium and the Cambs Glass Stadium.

The Posh saw a slight increase in fans attending league home matches compared to the previous season, with an average attendance of 5,581. That's about 130 more people per game.

Meanwhile, the U's saw a slight drop on the 2015-16 season, with the average league match home attendance for 2016-17 at 4,737 - about 537 less fans per match.

The allegation relates to Andy Coles' work as an undercover police officer in the 1990s.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which oversees NHS care in our county, has released a statement regarding the recent cyber-attack and how it is affecting GP surgeries and hospitals in the region.

A spokesperson said: "IT systems were shut down at all GP practices across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough on Friday as a precautionary measure, but are expected to be reconnected this morning.

"None of our local hospitals were directly affected by the cyber-attack although a number of precautionary actions were put in place over the weekend. 

"If you have a hospital appointment you should still attend unless you are contacted and told not to."

Earlier we reported problems were still continuing at surgeries in places including Cambourne, March and Ely.

You can follow the latest on the attack here.

The Blues will visit The Posh for two 60-minute games between the Championship and League One sides.

There will be two kick-offs on Tuesday, 18 July - at 19:00 and 20:30.
