25/08/2011 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

And Hello and welcome to the programme. The headlines: still not

good enough, inspectors say Boston's, widow must do more to

insure patient safety. The Lincolnshire school celebrating

Britain's biggest improvement in GCSE results. I have got what I

wanted, I am happy. My parents are will be pleased. I am really happy.

Scunthorpe United prepare for the arrival of Premier League's

Newcastle. And creating comedy on the carpet,

the company producing a multi- million-pound hard work to order

the stars of stage and screen. And join me in a few minutes' time

for the forecast for the bank holiday weekend.

Standards of patient care at the pilgrim's Hospital in Boston are

still not good enough, according to another report. Inspectors from the

independent watchdog the care quality commission say that while

some improvements have been made, more work still needs to be done to

ensure patient safety. This follows a movie in July which saw a student

nurses pulled out of the hospital after concerns over training

quality. Our correspondent was invited inside the hospital to see

the progress. Risk assessments where once

highlighted as a problem area by inspectors from the care quality

commission. Not any more. Every patient is now fully assessed for

any risks, such as pressure sores, blood clots and boils.

Ith -- the patients we spoke to say they have noticed a difference in

the standards of care. The staff are better than the where years ago.

They have been very good. Positive comments like these could not come

at a better time. One last month, student nurses were withdrawn

following concerns over the learning environment. They will now

return next year. The hospital's problems were first revealed in

February, when the commission carried out their first inspection.

The following month, the CQC's damaging report was published an

enforcement action announced. In June, Lincolnshire police announced

they were investigating allegations of mistreatment of patients by a

member of staff. Against this troubled backdrop,

staff have been working hard to drive up standards with a regular

training sessions. Morale take a bet, a very large debt. All nursing

staff are aware that they are here for the benefit of the patients. We

are using this as an opportunity to learn. We are improving our patient

care. The latest findings from the CQC, an independent health watchdog,

show that Weller brokers are being made, inspectors have still had

waited three main areas of concern. The major one is over the

management and save administration of drugs. Concerns were also raised

over individual care plans not being detailed enough. Inspectors

fear that some patients could be at risk of dehydration because the

records are not always properly maintained. Senior hospital

managers say they are working closely with the CTC to ensure the

improvements continue. We are living in the right direction, we

need to build on the work we have already done. I am satisfied that

if we do that, we will ensure that patients receive the care that they

would expect. The trust that now have 28 days to get back to the CQC,

with a detailed action plan for further improvements.

That is a story that we have a fault and will continue to fall.

Any moment, the small towns fighting to maintain their

community spirit in the face of a sprawling developments.

The Red Arrows are expected back at their Lincolnshire base tomorrow,

after a flying ban on the Hawk jet was lifted. They were grounded

after the death of red for, Flight Lieutenant John 18 at an event on

this Saturday. -- John their game. No announcement has been made as to

whether they will perform at any event. The Lincolnshire

motorcyclist has been killed in the Isle of man. Organisers say that

49-year-old a neo- gent from Boston died after an incident at the Manx

Grand Prix. -- Neil Grant. A Business in Grimsby employ more

than 60 people has gone into receivership. All the staff have

been made redundant at Superior seafoods. The family-run firm had

been trading for 40 years. 90 people have been made redundant

at an East Yorkshire caravan company. Serve can arise is the

largest UK caravan and the motor home manufacturer. The company say

they are seeking voluntary redundancies.

It has been another records here for exam passes as teenagers in

Lancashire and Yorkshire pick of their GCSE results. Lincolnshire

County Council saw the biggest increase, the pass rate was up 4%

on last year. In Hull, they recorded their best ever pass rate

with 45% of pupils making the grade. With the exams are over, it is

decision time for many youngsters. We will be looking at the options

for school leavers. Our correspondent has the story of

today's celebrations. Students had plenty to smile about

this morning, as record results were recorded across East Yorkshire

and Lincolnshire. I am speechless. Absolute bliss weasels. I got what

I wanted. My parents will be pleased. Three years ago, this

council in Boston recorded the second worst in the country. Today,

students opened their wanderlust -- envelopes for the final time. The

school is to close and become part of Haven High. But not before

achieving record grades. We have increased the hour presented a

people achieving a A* by 16%. was also good news in Cleethorpes,

were academies were continuing to succeed. This is the 4th here where

we have continued to have 80% of students achieving higher grades in

English and maths. I got an A and A* in everything. I got a C in

everything. I passed everything, I am quite pleased. In Hull,

teenagers got a chance to relax and enjoy themselves, the council put

on a special event after attaining the best grades the city has ever

seen. They do such a tough market out there for jobs, more and more,

the Dong people know that their future lies in getting good grades.

-- e young people know. Once the party is over, students will have

to decide what to do with their future. Of for some, 16 means

leaving school. And then tried to avoid the fate of one million

school leavers nationwide, who are not in education or employment. The

authorities are keen to stress that help is out there. There is a wide

range of training options, employment with training and causes

and apprenticeships. Please do not be downhearted a few have got poor

results that you were not expecting. Matt is one of the lucky ones,

after his GCSE's last year he could be there for and won an

apprenticeship. He gets employment and education. The Hull-based

company is funding his part-time degree. I do a they release one day

per week, which Crown pay for, to study at university. I will be on

the pathway to a full bachelor's degree. It will take six years

rather than five years, but in that time he will learn a trade which

will see him for the rest of his life. Even with Labour's idea today

that all my firms with apprenticeship schemes should be

awarded public sector work, they deserve reality is that while

school is out, the hard work is only just beginning.

Joining me now is Joseph Hyatt from the Youth Parliament. He is also

behind a campaign tried to get employers to take youngsters

through work experience. Do you think that employments -- employers

are taking on enough young people? Not at all. The issue is that,

obviously with the government's work programme and our past -- from

our past government being scrapped, it has been hard for employers to

expand on apprenticeships and for young people to get into a pension.

Also, the way it is going with the connection service, it is hard for

young people to get into work experience. There has been a

breakdown in communication between the private sector employers, and

students. Given the cost in the number of graduates that end up in

a non-graduate jobs, would you like to see, do you think it is vital

that not have to go to university? University comes down to a personal

choice. What we have seen is that one in three graduates are

unemployed, one in five young people are unemployed. It is clear

that university does not necessarily make a difference. We

need to one in the that every young person is killed and talented.

makes a difference whether employers will only one graduates.

We must reshape the way employers look at young people. We need to

realise that universities are for everyone, they are very skilled at

talented young people who are coming out with diplomas at all

sorts of court cases. Should they look more favourably at GCSEs and

A-levels, rather than stipulating that you must go of the arrested?

totally agree, to be totally fact, as ironic as this sounds, I think

all the cases are somewhat irrelevant in this issue at the

minute. The issue is the perception of young people from employers.

They think that young people just sit around and have no interest in

wanting to improve their lives. That is the issue. They seem to

favour older people, or when a lot of young people are coming out of

school and college has set for or even your Vestey and have some

fantastic skills and talents. a few rare one of the thousands, or

maybe your son or daughter got Thank you for the response on our

story showing that accidents have actually risen at a number of speed

cameras sating the Humberside area. The Road Safety Partnership has

said that speeding is being cut, but admits that it needs to look at

ways of cutting casualties. A big response after the programme

last night, just a few of the message. Brian in Swineshead said

that he cannot believe the Government spokesperson said that

Still ahead before 7pm, Scunthorpe United prepared to renew

hostilities with Newcastle. Two divisions they divide the teams.

More Premier League side have fallen and Scunthorpe United try

and make it a theft. The town are playing against Newcastle United,

and he will have a preview later on. And the multi- million-pound hard

work remembering great comedy Brian McCarthy took this of The

Wolds fields over looking Binbrook. Thank you for that. Another picture

tomorrow night at about the same time.

I'm not talking to a tonight after Zoe from Grimsby e-mail down to say

that you only have heard what I said last night. That's not what

was said! Don't look in the paper for his lonely hearts ad - just e-

mail him directly. The weather forecast for the Bank Holiday Inn

just the second. Tomorrow, not a great day. This is the coast where

it will be miserable. Am busy pressure charts. This will bring us

quite persistent rain tomorrow. It is brightened up nicely today and

we have seen at sunshine develop. In the short term, one or two

showers around. This evening, in general, fine and dry. You can see

this rain that edging in from the south-east. In the rural spot, down

to eight Celsius, but towns and cities will hold up. Very high

waters tomorrow. It will be cloudy with outbreaks of rain spreading

out from the south-west. A fairly miserable commute to work. Those

outbreaks of rain will continue and veg West words. There will be heavy

spells in there and really miserable along the coastline. We

should be up at around 21 Celsius tomorrow. It will only reach around

18 Celsius below. -- though. Summer showers over the weekend but sunny

spells. Sunny spells and scattered showers on Monday. Sunday will be

the driest day. I can't believe you are offering odds of a woman going

There's concern that urban sprawl has robbed a Lincolnshire town of

its sense of community. According to a report by North Kesteven

District Council, Hykeham near Lincoln is suffering from a lack of

services, congested roads and little sense of pride amongst its

residents. The study says the area needs new investment to service its

new estates. Phillip Norton reports. Another busy day are amongst fears

the town is losing its identity and becoming simply part of Lincoln.

think the main fear of people is that we will get sucked up by the

City, and we do not want that. We want our independence, if you like.

It has been a long time since this street was the centre of village

life year. Well there are still a few old buildings remaining,

elsewhere, it is quite different. This is the modern face - housing

estates and building work in progress. The concern is that the

infrastructure that is already in place cannot cope with the

increasing population. People, quite rightly, spotted an

opportunity and bill the estate. No thought was given to the inch this

-- infrastructure. We really need roads and more medical supplies and

care for the elderly. All these things should be first and foremost.

Sadly, they're not. There are similar examples in other areas.

Brough, located on the banks of the Humber, has also seen a rapid

population increase and now regarded as a small town. We have

been campaigning for many years to preserve villages and the green

belt around these villages. But not everyone in Hykeham feels the urban

sprawl and modern day life are a bad thing. Hicom still has an

identity of its own and a think it will keep that. We have had all

these developments but we're still there is a town is a have a lot to

offer. The town council says its doing all it can to help ease

problems with Hykeham's infrastructure - but like most

things, improvements will cost money.

Certainly an interesting one. Maxwell Hutchinson is an architect

and journalist, who grew up in Lincolnshire. I spoke to him

earlier and asked him if he'd seen this kind of thing happening where

he lived. I have seen it to a slight extent when I was brought up.

When I was brought up in the 1950s - I am that old, it was separated

by three miles of countryside. Now, it is almost conjoined with the

town of Branston. Community is not made by buildings. It is made by

people, and we have to face up to the inevitability of the fact that

this country is desperately short of housing. Are we getting the

housing right? You have said we need the houses, but it is that

houses that trample over the land. We're not getting the house is

right, or more especially, the planning strategy behind the houses.

We need to resign ourselves to the fact that the countryside will be

developed. The demographic figures and that population of the country

is going up. Somehow, somewhere, people have to live. There needs to

be a very careful planning balance before these houses are built. Also,

with the change in the way it we live our lives, we need to design

different sorts of houses. Is that not dented people like yourself,

the architect, to get that right? The Housing builders need to engage

with creative, thought for one for odd-looking people to build --

design their housing stock. The idea of small boxes rolled out on

roads isn't good. A lot of people watching now 11 assorted boxes

you're talking about. They did not have an option, but there can be an

option in the future, if we design these things properly. I am not

disparaging the places in which people live, but they live there

because they were not given it any option for any alternative.

answer in a nutshell? We have to resign ourselves to the fact that

we are going to develop the countryside and we need to engage

the best design brains we have to make sure ray get it right. Thank

you for coming on. Can we keep a sense of community?

Do we have to except, as he said, that the countryside will have to

be built on? Since Scunthorpe United last beat Newcastle United,

back in 2009, the two clubs fortunes couldn't have been more

different. Newcastle are now back in the premier league - and the

Iron relegated to league one. But tonight Scunthorpe fans are hoping

history will repeat itself, as the pair meet in the second round of

the Carling Cup. Simon Clark reports.

They were still snapping up tickets this afternoon for what could be

Scunthorpe's most prestigious game of the season. Two years ago, they

met Newcastle and the lead, when they won 2-1. Since then, the two

teams are in different divisions, so often as am for a repeat is

muted. In cup games, anything can happen. We're not playing well

enough at the moment. In just under one hour, the two teams will march

down here for from these two dressing-rooms. They will be led

out by a very special guest - Taylor Nelson, the son of Michael

Nelson, the Scunthorpe United defender. Taylor Nelson arrived at

the stadium a few minutes ago. Like his dad, he supports Newcastle

United. -- Kyle Nelson. He was doing it the coaching at and he was

asked if he wanted to be than Ascot and was given the option of being

an Ascot for this match. Whatever the outcome, Scunthorpe United

earned a tasty nest-egg, estimated at �150,000.

And Simon is at Glanford park for us this evening. So what changes

have taken place at Scunthorpe since they last played Newcastle?

There have been huge changes to personnel on the pitch, personnel

behind the scenes like the managers, and they can tell you both star

strikers have been sold. Andy Carroll went from Newcastle to

Liverpool, and Scunthorpe's striker went to Celtic. The fans have

started to make the relay and, but it is not a sell-out, so if you

want to, come and buy a ticket on the door and join us here. And you

can hear full commentary of the game on BBC Radio Humberside.

That's on Sportstalk which is on air now. And they'll also be

discussing Hull City's record signing Jimmy Bullard - who has

joined Ipswich Town. Bullard signed for the Tigers in 2009, but his

time at the club was littered with problems. He had his contract

terminated last week despite having two years left to run on it. He's

joined Ipswich on a two year deal. It might only be August, but stars

of Grimsby's pantomime, Snow White, were in the town today. They were

looking for candidates to play the seven dwarves. A familiar face was

recruited to help with the search. Sue Holderness, known for playing

Marlene in Only Fools and Horses, will play the wicked queen when the

show starts in December. Do you remember the famous 'Fork

handles' sketch or the catchphrase "just like that" or how about

Morecambe and Wise dancing with Angela Rippon? They're all among

the very best of British comedy and now a company from Hull is at the

centre of a piece of art aimed at celebrating some of our best loved

sketches and one-liners. The Comedy carpet will be unveiled in

Blackpool next month. Vanessa Clarke reports. Catherine Tate is a

legend. You stupid boy, Pike. me sunshine. They are classic one-

liners that have entertained us for years. But now 336 of the best

comedy quotes and catchphrases are being immortalised in stone-work as

part of a huge public artwork - and they have all been crafted here in

Hull. We were producing a four punt slabs of concrete and each and

every one of them was an individual work of art. It was like any other

factory work but it was next unusual. And this what the slabs

will create - a huge comedy carpet the size of a football pitch. They

are currently on their way to Blackpool to be assembled and they

are full of comedy greats. From Hull's very own Norman Collier and

his infamous broken microphone routine. To new favourites. But of

course - everyone has their own favourite one-liner. I'm back in

England because my wife's just left me. She was obsessed with my

obsession with prostitutes. only. What the column -- what she's

be used to Cox bears out of a cage? Camembert. The process that

involved over 200,000 letters and over two years of production, to

create what will be one of Britain's largest public artworks.

Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines: Libya's

Colonel Gaddafi issues another call to arms. In a radio broadcast, he

calls on his supporters to come out of their homes and kill the rats.

Inspectors say Boston's Pilgrim Hospital has made improvements to

its service, but that it still needs more work to ensure patient

safety. Tomorrow's weather: Rain spreading from the south east,

patchy to the west at first. Turning heavy in places through the

day. Maximum temperature of 18 Celsius.

About jobs and apprenticeships, Simon says, I took an

apprenticeship two years ago. He says now he is 19 and his insurance
