5th: RADICAL plans to create school creches to care for the babies of teenage mums were revealed by the city council.
A report by council health experts asked the local authority to consider the idea so schoolgirl mums could get on with going to English and maths rather than having to miss school and care for their newborns.

It is believed Peterborough would be one of only a handful of councils across the country to offer such a service.

The idea for creches was devised by a teenage pregnancy strategy group which is comprised of three councillors who sit on the health and overview scrutiny committee – the council's health watchdog.

25th: DETECTIVES sifted through CCTV footage as they attempted to track down an armed raider who held up a city bank.

The drama began when a man walked into the HSBC branch in Lincoln Road, Millfield, carrying a handgun.

He threatened three members of staff with the weapon and tied them up, before escaping with a quantity of cash.

No one was injured, but one man in the bank was treated for shock by paramedics.

27th: A TODDLER'S mum and dad had to fight to keep a trampoline in a communal garden so their autistic son could continue to play.

Buster Masters beamed with joy when the trampoline was put in land off Thorpe Road, Peterborough.

Then someone complained about children laughing and making a noise in the communal garden, to the housing association, Accent Nene Ltd, that owns the flats where Buster's family lives.

Accent Nene Ltd ordered that the 8ft trampoline must be removed, but ther family earned a summer reprieve and were able to keep it for Buster to play on.

30th: TEENAGERS were risking their lives to scrawl graffiti tags on city landmarks.

Foolhardy vandals had marked a central barrier on a busy parkway, as well as the roofs of city centre shops.
