Alastair Pringle, interim chief executive at the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said: “We expect our emergency health services to be a beacon of safety and security when we’re most in need. We were extremely concerned to hear about the issues raised at the East of England Ambulance Trust. No one should feel unsafe or threatened at work.

FIREFIGHTERS spent hours rescuing a woman trapped inside her car after it crashed into a brick garage on a residential road. Two fire crews from Colchester and an urban search and rescue team were called to Mountbatten Drive, in Colchester, at about 4.20pm on Monday. On arrival firefighters reported a silver car had collided with a garage and a woman was trapped inside her vehicle. Essex Fire and Rescue Service’s urban search and rescue team was then called to help make the structure of the garage safe so firefighters could rescue the woman. A witness, who asked not to be named, said the driver was trapped inside the car for about two hours waiting for the fire crews to secure the garage from falling on top of the car.
