THE mother of a man stabbed to death in a samurai sword attack minutes after his attackers' car had been stopped by police is calling for a change in the law.

Christopher Mills, 22, was killed at his West Drayton home in January 2006 by two men brandishing the weapons.

His killers, Neil Moran and Gavin Ward, had been stopped just 11 minutes before when they were spotted driving erratically. But officers did not search the vehicle and the pair continued on the short drive to Christopher's flat.

A PLANNED move of West Drayton post office will go ahead.

The office will move just 150 yards, from number 17 to number 43 Station Road.

Post Office spokesman Alan Ridoutt said: "We are confident that the new service is suitably located and will meet the needs of our customers in the local community.

ANOTHER cash boost for West Drayton and Yiewsley town centres will go towards reducing traffic congestion.

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has earmarked £966,000 to be spent on transport improvements, as part of the ongoing improvement scheme in the area.

It will be ploughed into reducing traffic congestion, improving bus flow and opening up pedestrian and cycle routes.

Earlier this year a sum of £1.8 million was pledged by Transport for London (TfL) for improvement works designed to make shopping in the area a nicer experience.

It will fund a lit-up arc for the Colham Bridge in Yiewsley, while a colourful redevelopment of the Network Rail owned bridge in Station Road, West Drayton, is also planned.
