An independent secondary school has admitted a failure of health and safety duty which led to the death of a woman.
Vera Stanton tripped over a low wall alongside a path at The Leys School in Cambridge. She hit her head and died from her injuries six days later.
Through its advocate Prashant Popat, The Leys and St Faith’s Schools of The Fen Causeway, pleaded guilty to the charge of failing in its undertakings to ensure people other than employees were not exposed to risk to their health and safety.
Submitting.
“We take the nuisance of anti-social behaviour very seriously and we have a duty to all our tenants to deal with that. It is very important that other residents of Abbots Close now know they have enforceable protection.
“We are proud of the way our teams have come together to handle this and the work they put in to get such a positive outcome. The fact that we have resolved this by video link illustrates that we are committed to take action to protect our residents under difficult circumstances.”
Issued at Peterborough County Court under section 13 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act 2014, the injunction allows for the tenant to be arrested if they do not comply.

A building contractor has been convicted after failing to provide assistance to a criminal investigation. Raymond Burling, of Hemnall Street, Epping, came to the attention of the Environment Agency looking into the illegal dumping of bales of mixed waste at a warehouse in Kent. Information obtained by investigating officers led them to believe Burling was likely to hold documents that would help the wider enquiry. The agency wrote to the then 70-year-old in August last year, asking him to supply the papers. Peterborough Magistrates were told Burling had two weeks to respond to the letter, but did not make any contact with officers.
