‘Vulnerable' Auriol Grey, 49, who is partially blind and also suffers from
cognitive issues, was sentenced on Thursday following a retrial at
Peterborough Crown Court.

The judgement against Grey has since been branded 'extremely harsh' by
disability campaigners. Fazilet Hadi, Head of Policy at Disability Rights
UK, told MailOnline: 'This was a really tragic incident, where Celia lost
her life, and I feel sadness and sympathy for all involved. The sentence
given to Auriol does seem extremely harsh.

'With the number of cyclists increasing, we need proper separation of
pedestrians, cyclists and cars, so that we can all keep each other safe.
Government and councils need to review guidance, to ensure safe streets.'

It comes as the local council was unable to confirm today whether or not
bicycles are allowed on the pavement where the incident took place -
despite the judge declaring it a 'shared footpath' at court.
