Naheed Khan, from Thornaby, has not been seen since May 2018 but was reported missing the following June THE death of Sarah Everard has triggered an outpouring of grief from the British public. There has been anger at how an innocent life has been taken, shock at the realisation that this could have been a daughter, sister, partner or friend of any of us, and a collective will to do all we can to make our streets safer for women. The former Durham University student went missing while walking home from a friend’s flat in south London. It was the type of journey millions of women take every day in this country.
A MIDDLESBROUGH councillor says he is “pushing as hard as he can” for footpath improvements after residents claimed they were taking their lives into their hands attempting to cross a busy roundabout. Cllr David Coupe said he understood the frustration being expressed by residents in his Stainton ward who have complained about the lack of a continuous pedestrian route through to Brookfield and Acklam with some choosing to cross a busy slip road onto the A174 Parkway, which leads off the Stainton Way/Low Lane roundabout. Hundreds of new homes have been built to the south of Middlesbrough in recent years at developments including Rose Cottage in Stainton and nearby Brookfield Woods, Kingsbrook Wood and Brookland Park, off Low Lane, creating pressure for infrastructure improvements.
