Putney in the news
Putney has been in the news twice today. BBC London News this evening led with a story on dangerous dogs and featured the attack on The Pleasance last month. It was good to see the victim of the attack recovering well.
You can watch the BBC News story here or read the summary of the story on the BBC website here.
We also learned today that fifteen years after the horrific murder of Rachel Nickel on Wimbledon Common, part of which is in the constituency, someone has been charged with the crime. My thoughts tonight are with both Rachel's family but also with Roehampton resident Colin Stagg who was falsely accused of her murder at the time and who has been persecuted ever since. While no one has yet been convicted and we need to be careful with what we say until they are, this must have been a day Mr Stagg has long waited for.
