Aswani Dreepaul received a suspended prison sentence and was placed on the sex offenders’ register for 10 years after being convicted on March 25 last year at Reading Magistrates’ Court.

A nursing and midwifery council (NMC) fitness to practise committee issued an interim suspension order for 18 months on Wednesday as a striking-off order cannot take effect until the end of a 28-day appeal period.

The committee heard that for two weeks prior to his arrest in February 2023, Dreepaul was engaging in sexual communications over social media with a person whom he believed to be a 13-year-old girl, but who was actually a member of an activist group acting as a decoy.

The panel considered that there was a “potential future risk of sexual harm to members of the public, in particular female children”.

The committee found his conduct to be “fundamentally incompatible with the standards and values expected of a registered nurse”, adding he had “brought the nursing profession into disrepute”.

In an email to the council on August 4 2026, Dreepaul said because of his court sentence and upon the advice of his solicitor, he felt that he could not return to his nursing career.

In the email, Dreepaul wrote: “With all my regret, I accepted the NMC’s allegations, namely my criminal conviction, that my conduct amounts to misconduct, and that my fitness to practise is currently impaired.”Dreepaul informed his employer following his release on bail and was subsequently suspended from his employment, and later resigned from Broadmoor Hospital on August 21 2023.

Movement is conscious, intuitive and spontaneous as you allow the vibrations of the sound to resonate in whichever way feels right for you. The invitation is to disconnect the mind and connect with the body freely, noticing any self-judgement and any fears around judgement from others. The evening will close with a mini sound bath and a short closing circle with fruit, and some optional time to socialise. Together we co-create a safe container, offering respect to our fellow dancers and their space, keeping to the guidelines of no chat, no shoes,
no drugs, no alcohol.

Bracknell High Street car park was closed in 2023 after surveyors warned the council of corrosion. The multi-storey car park was built in the 1970s and deemed to be unsafe as it was not built for modern, heavy cars.

Bracknell Forest Council made the decision to demolish the car park at a meeting on Thursday, where it was explained the work could take six months or longer.

The project is being undertaken by the Bracknell Forest Cambium Partnership, a joint venture between the council and Countryside Homes.

One local resident Victor Rones expressed concern about the decision and its impact on the town. He said: "In my view, this town will be filled with high-rise flats that make the town look like a bad slum area with flats from Mile End, Stepney or Stratford in East London.

"If I were younger, I would get out of this rat hole."

I suppose Bracknell lives up to the reputation. Good to see police at least don't see that often in towns anymore. How often are shops smashed? Saw a few. Does Priness Square always smell so badly of mould?
