Be careful if you question a cyclist on the pavement, this was tragic and i am not suggesting it would happen again. The attorney general is considering whether to review the four-year sentence given to a man who killed another man with a single punch. Andrew Young, 40, suffered a head injury and died in hospital after the assault in Bournemouth in 2013. Lewis Gill, of Sutton, south London, admitted manslaughter and was jailed at Salisbury Crown Court on Friday. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said the attorney general was considering seeking a longer sentence. He called it a "repugnant crime", adding: "I think most of the public will feel justice hasn't been done." "In a case where [the attorney general] judges the sentence to be too lenient, he can go back to the courts and seek a longer sentence," Mr Grayling said. "He may chose to do this in that case." Dorset Police described the killing outside a Tesco Express store in Charminster Road as a "violent attack on an innocent man". CCTV showed Mr Young, who had Asperger's syndrome - a form of autism - apparently challenging Gill's friend, who was cycling on the pavement. Mr Young spoke with Gill's friend, who was on a bicycle Moments later, Gill, 20, who was walking along behind, was shown punching Mr Young in the face. Mr Young fell backwards and hit his head on the ground. Andrew Young died after being punched by Lewis Gill Conservative MP David Davies told the Daily Mail it was an "outrageously lean sentence". Chris Grayling told Daily Politics the sentence was being reviewed "In two years he will be out walking the streets after taking somebody's life," he said. "He has attacked someone unprovoked and should be properly punished. "People need to realise if you punch someone like that, and they fall backward, they can die." Gill, who carried out the assault on 6 November, had an extra six months added to his sentence after admitting an unrelated charge of handling stolen goods and breaching a suspended sentence order.

out of interest how much did it cost and who paid?

I live in East dulwich and do not mind the noise. I have to travel for business and on Long Haul flights I like to get home have a shower change and then go to the office. If that means that I land at 5.30 it is understandable. Used to live with a train line on one side and RAF fighter planes going overhead at 6.30 every morning, after a while you get use to it and it does not bother me. Here that there are city folk who move to the country at wekeend who complain about church bells and cockrels and want these band as well. If we all got what we would individually like band why would we live and we would all want to kill each other.

Sorry to every one if I woke you up this morning but was on a plance from Hong Kong that landed at heathrow at 4.50. I managed to get home by 6.00 and was in work by 9.00 am

sorry, think you need to look again 136 is on teh corner of Underhill and Dunstens

the 130's are near Dunstens Road

I got hit by a cyclyst on a pavement in the last few days. Luckely he only managed to hit my foot so I was not hurt. He fell off and had bad grazing to his legs and a bent wheel. If I had been injured what were my chnaces of claiminmg medicical bills from him and getting them paid? ok he is limping and has to buy a new front wheel. he was very insulting and trying to blame me for the accident. It may be just me but as I was crossing a zebra crossing in the city this morning a cyclyst came through a red light shouting at predestrians for crossing the road, he was going too fast and could not have stopped.

no drugs to sell

There was a dead fox cub in teh road opposite the school this morning

Ok if I get this right, some poor sole was attached after an evil looking dog ( in the eyes of the person who is being attached, and if they feel scared of the dog that is fair enough) tried to tangle him up by running through his legs. The people who attached him should be caught and jailed. If a dog is making someone uncomfortable that is a problem on this forum. If a man is taking pictures in a park and of young children (never proved) he is a pedophile and should be jailed. Be real, this man was attacked and injured by some nasty people, feel sorry for him and do not concern yourselves with the dog as if that?s how the owners behave then you can probably guarantee the dog will be of the same upbringing

This is what it used to look like.

Thanks councillor, Can you advise which streets were canvassed in the survey as this could make a big difference? If they were back streets away from main thorough fares with no shops and building works the litter would be less.

Please note that there was another vehicle involved, feel sorry for the young lady who may not have been responsible for the crash but was a victim

I am sorry to say, but it appears that the standard of education on this site is going down hill rapidly. We have people who represent us as elected members who are unable to spell or use a spell check before posting. Can forgive grammar but spelling even as a dyslexic is unforgivable. Can we at least get a proper standard of education on here?

sick an sick!!! some people may not think that is funny. Yes have ago at my views and insult me because of my comments, but treason!
