Roadworks are causing "chaos and mayhem" in Bar Hill, according to residents.

The works started on Saturday on Saxon Way outside the Tesco superstore as part of the A14 improvement scheme.

Temporary traffic lights lead to gridlock and traffic backing up on the A14.

South Cambridgeshire District Councillor for Bar Hill, Bunty Waters, said the situation should now improve.

"I'm pleased to say it looks as though they have taken away the traffic lights and the movement of traffic is much better," she said.

A spokesperson for Cambridge Water, which is carrying out the works, said: "We appreciate the initial traffic management system has caused delays and was raised by Cambridgeshire Highways who put a traffic diversion system in place to ease congestion.

"Traffic is being diverted via Crafts Way and Saxon Way.

"We would urge all motorists to ensure they follow the diversion signs that are in place and not to block the roundabout to help ease congestion."

The works are due to last until Sunday.

The Ipswich Witches have received a boost ahead of this Thursday’s second leg of the Championship Knock-Out Cup final second leg.

The Suffolk side have brought in Scott Nicholls to ride in place of injured Rory Schlein.

Nicholls, 39, is a cult hero at Foxhall, where he was a member of the all-conquering 1998 team which won the Elite League, Knock-out Cup and Craven Shield.

Racing as an individual, he also won the British Under-21 Championship that year.

The Witches trail Peterborough by four points after the first leg but with the return meeting taking place at Foxhall they should be confident.

Team Manager Ritchie Hawkins says the team still needs to perform.

"We are behind - I know it felt like a victory, but we are four points behind," he said.

"We've seen this year when we got beaten by Edinburgh at home that if we do slack off we get punished, so we need to go and do the job still."

The former Mayor of March says he would like everyone to be within four minutes of a defibrillator.

The electronic devices apply an electric shock to restore the rhythm of a heart during a heart attack.

Rob Skoulding vowed to install 10 of the devices when he was mayor in 2015.

Mr Skoulding said: "My aim is to have everyone within four minutes of a defibrillator, because after that time, the oxygen stops going to the brain and the brain starts dying.

"I would like to get into school and get them trained as young people are the future."

There are currently 33 defibrillators in the town.

Cyclists in Cambridge will be allowed to cycle both ways down more one way streets in the city centre, if county council plans are approved today.

Around 15 one-way or restricted streets have been put forward for the change, including Guest Road, Collier Road, Sedgewick Street and Emery Road.

Jim Chisholm, from the Cambridge cycling campaign group CamCycle, external, said: "There is very little danger to have these roads made two-way for cycling.

"A number of streets were changed a number of years ago and there have been no reported accidents."

Martin Tyler, a driving instructor for JP School of Motoring in Cambridge said: "Road signs and markings would need to be very clear, because as a driver you could pull out on to a one-way street, only looking for oncoming traffic in one direction and hit a cyclist coming the other way."

The county council's Cambridge City Joint Area Committee, external meets at 16:30.

Police say they were called at 13:45 to the southbound carriageway of the A1, just before J17, to reports a lorry had collided with a lamp-post.

The lamp-post has gone over onto the northbound carriageway.

They say it appears a car has also collided with the lorry.

The road is closed southbound between Haddon and Yaxley.

Lanes one and two of the northbound carriageway are open.

Traffic is very slow for about six miles on the A1(M) south-west of Peterborough after a collision.

Highways England says the northbound side is now closed between J16 and J17 and there's only one lane southbound.

The collision has caused "significant barrier damage".

Peterborough-born and bred Aston Merrygold wowed the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing audience this weekend with a waltz that left him joint third on the leader board - one of four contestants with 24 points.

Despite him admitting he'd been shaking with nerves beforehand, head judge Shirley Ballas told him and partner Janette Manrara that it was "pretty impressive" and Craig Revel Horwood said he "loved how he danced".

Cambridge paralympian Jonnie Peacock is through to the Halloween Special episode of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing after his quickstep with partner Oti Mabuse left them joint third on the leader board - one of four contestants with 24 points.

Before the dance, the double gold winner in the T44 men's 100m event said "everyone's said it's just basically running, so surely I should be able to do that?"

And he proved that he could. Dancing with his blade on, he wasn't even out of breath at the end.

Judge Darcy Bussell said he "made that look easy" and it was "very impressive" and head judge Shirley Ballas said she thought he was "outstanding".

Curiosity got the better of Billy the terrier, whose head became lodged when he peered through a wall.

Peterborough Panthers had to settle for a 47-43 victory over Ipswich Witches in the first leg of speedway's Championship Knockout Cup Final, external.

At one point the Suffolk side were 14 points down and Peterborough team boss Carl Johnson (pictured) admitted his side were left kicking themselves.

He said: "We had the opportunity to build a commanding lead, but we didn't take it.

"If we don't manage to win the trophy, it will be the last few heats tonight that cost us.

"We have to give credit to Ipswich for the way they came back at us after losing Rory, but our boys all know we should have done better.

"They've given themselves a tough job to do in the second leg, but it's not until it's over. Anything can happen on the night in 15 heats of speedway."

The return meeting is at Ipswich's Foxhall Stadium on Thursday, 26 October.

The search for missing airman Corrie Mckeague at a landfill near Cambridge is to resume today.

A police investigation at the site in Milton was suspended in July after five months.

But detectives re-checked data and concluded it was still the location where there was the highest likelihood of finding Corrie.

However, police say the nature of waste disposal and its movement is not a precise science, hence the requirement to extend the search.

The new excavation will focus on an area called Cell 22 - next to the site of the original search - and is likely to take around four to six weeks.

Mr Mckeague, 23, who is based at RAF Honington in Suffolk, disappeared after a night out in Bury St Edmunds in September last year.

At one point the Suffolk side were 14 points down, and team manager Ritchie Hawkins has praised the way his side got back into the tie.

"To get it down to four points is an amazing effort, but there is still a job to do on Thursday. It is certainly not won, we cannot relax," he told the club website, external.

"I know their heads won’t go down. I have been telling them if they keep fighting they will get their rewards and that is what they have done."

The return meeting is at Foxhall Stadium on 26 October.
