The town of Cricklade was left reeling after the sudden death of Barbara Mullaney, owner of Animal Fayre pet shop on the High Street, after a fatal crash on the B4696 on Tuesday, June 30. Locals have described the beloved mother and grandmother as the "heart and soul of Cricklade High Street" who was "one of the kindest people you could ever meet." Following her death, customers of the pet shop are now hoping to install a memorial bench in the town to mark Barbara's legacy.
