The vandalism plague that has been blighting Bradley Stoke has hit once again - this time at the cricket club.

The roof of Bradley Stoke Cricket Club was set on fire on Friday night at around 8.15pm.

Firefighters were called to Bailey’s Court Road to find a small fire in the roof space.

It is thought the damage was only limited to the insulation there.

Bailey’s Court has become a magnet for these kinds of incidents following a gang fight involving 100 teens earlier this year.

The nearby activity centre, which has not yet been completed, also fell victim to vandalism a few months ago.

Police in Bradley Stoke are attempting to piece together the last movements of a acupuncturist who died when she was involved in crash.

Chinese national Jing Pan, 53, was involved in a collision with a grey Audi A4 Quattro at about 10.13pm on Wednesday August 8 on Winterbourne Road.

She was taken to the nearby Frenchay Hospital but died.

Avon & Somerset Police say Jing Pan had only been in Bradley Stoke for a number of weeks before the crash.

It is thought she left her home on the night of the crash, near Great Stoke roundabout, at around 8.30pm.

Officers now want to know what happened to her during the two hours building up to the crash.

A poster asking the public for help has now been issued by the force.

PS Mike Smalley said: “Our extensive investigations have failed to help us piece together what happened during the hour of or so before the road traffic collision.

“We hope by issuing the poster, this will help jog people’s memories about the incident but also someone will recognise the victim and be able to account for her movements prior to this tragic incident.”
