13th: CHILDREN looking forward to a flying visit by Santa's reindeer were left disappointed because of blue tongue restrictions.

The ban on animal movement after an infected ram was found on a city farm, grounded the reindeer which were to be a star attraction at Peterborough Museum's Christmas craft fair.

18th: IN an unusual move a city secondary school challenged a critical report by education watchdog Ofsted.

The Government inspectors gave Stanground College a "notice to improve" and slated the school for under-performing and producing inadequate standards.

However, school principal Malcolm Ellison put together a 30-page dossier criticising the report, saying it flies in the face of achievements at the college.

Mr Ellison admitted he knew of only one such appeal ever succeeding.
