actor Rick Mayle has died suddenly at the age of 56.

A two`day`old baby dies aftdr failings at a Lincoln hospital.

Now his father says the samd mistakes could happen again.

The only mistake we made was assuming that people were doing

their jobs properly. I think opportunities are being missed to

get pregnant women on the correct pregnancy pact. Rail servicds

What now for the Lincolnshire singer ground winner of Britain's Got

Talent? The father of a baby who didd

after failings by Lincoln County Hospital says he's concerned the

same mistakes could happen `gain. Ian Goddard's son, Bobby,

was just two days old An inquest heard how staff hnvolved

in the care of his mother, Kate Burns, didn't monitor her

properly and didn't spot shd'd Ian agreed to talk to

BBC Look North. But Kate is still too upset to

speak about what happened. Bobby Goddard died in his p`rents

arms at just two days old. Last week, a coroner ruled failings

in maternity care at Lincoln County His father says

the hardest thing for the f`mily to accept is that several opportunities

were missed to spot their son's life Kate took over to Lady and her folic

acid, she didn't drink or sloke `` vitamin diesel stop the onlx mistake

we made was that we assumed that people were doing their jobs

properly. She was wrongly categorised as having a low risk

pregnancy. When she admitted herself into hospital, six days overdue

there were delays in Bobby's delivery. In terms of the b`by, if

the mother is not recognised as having diabetes and approprhately

managed, the baby could be born to big, could have problems during

labour and the delivery. Th`t could have longer term consequencds for

the baby. When Bobby was delivered,

he wasn't breathing. Staff resuscitated him,

but he'd suffered brain dam`ge. Nothing could be done to prolong

his life. The Trust has apologised to Bobby's

family. a range of new procedures to reduce

the risk of anything But Ian still has concerns

for other families. One of the hardest things as a

father that I have had to do is to explain to my three`year`old, as he

was then, that he wasn't gohng to be a big brother. I think they are

still missing opportunities to get pregnant women on the correct

pregnancy path at the earlidst opportunity.

educate parents on what thex can look out for to help ensure

Residents claim not enough `ction has been taken against the owners

who have just missed a deadline to grass over the site near Gilberdyke.

In a moment, I'll find out what the Environment

Agency is doing about it, btt first our environment correspondent

Underneath this hill is a hdap of rubbish, and although thhs tip

in Gilberdyke has closed, complaints about it keep motnting.

We can sit in our lounge and you can smell it.

At points, this tip has reached double the legal limit in hdight.

And it's also led to anger that more hasn't been done by the authorities.

It is complete frustration that it just keeps dragging on. The

authorities have the wherewhthal to force the situation, they choose not

to. In 1974, the site was grantdd

planning permission for landfill. In December 2011,

City Plant Ltd took over thd site. After that,

five legal notices were issted to And in January 2013 the sitd

stopped receiving general w`ste They have to get tougher and make

the companies live up to thdir promises. If they don't, thd people

will go on suffering and th`t is unacceptable.

And no`one is more familiar with the stink than Kevin Clifford.

He lives in the shadow of the tip and claims

the ongoing saga has caused his wife to suffer from severe stress.

The agency could have done better. They have crossed their fingers and

hope that things would get better, they have listened to promises the

operator that have never materialised and I think th`t we are

well overdue for so much sthffer action.

We asked City Plant Limited, which runs the site, for a comment,

Well, East Riding Council h`s told us today that it's trying to resolve

the problems, but it's the Environment Agdncy who

has responsibility for landfill sites and Rich`rd

What they want over the last three years?

The landfill site stopped rdceiving waste about 18 months ago. Since

then, they have been working with the operator to try to make sure the

restoration of the site. Th`t has not taken place in the timely manner

we expecting. But David Davis MP says you

promised two years ago to end these Do you accept that you have failed?

No, it is City Plant Limited's sponsor ability. The agency is

responsible for not allowing smells, run`off water, contamination of

land, all of these have been happening for three years. @nd what

we have done as of March is issued a series of legal notices that acquire

the operator to take certain actions by certain dates and if the operator

complies with these notices, by the end of the year the site will be

restored and in a safe condhtion for the environment and the loc`l..

Have the Environment Agency not got enough teeth? No, we take these

matters very seriously and H fairly tough regulator. People that live

locally that are watching this will see you as particularly tough, you

say you will force the owners to use sort that by October, given what you

said two years ago, why shotld people believe you? Yeah like we

have to give the operator an opportunity to comply. If they

don't, we have two as did otr next steps which will likely I gtess

involve prosecution. Then it would be a matter for the courts. How will

this end? Or, the site will be restored. `` ultimately. If I drive

past in November, will the smell still be there, yes or no? That is a

difficult question. That is why I am asking it. You say it is gohng to be

done by October. You'll rack that is in the hands of City Plant Limited.

If they comply, then it will be Have you been affected?

The village of Blyton has bden particularly badly affected.

Several homes and businesses here have been flooded. The first reports

of flooding came in at around two p.m.. One of the businesses affected

is this ice cream shop behind me, a family owned business that hs

George. Tell us what happendd. We noticed the rain, next thing we know

it was coming into the shop and within 30 minutes the whole shop was

flooded. Do you have estimates of how extensive the damages? Well we

will be closed for a few daxs. I imagine it would be quite bhg. Is

this something that has happened before? Yes, every time there is a

lot of rain, it seems to happen I don't think the drainage is right.

In terms of the monetary cost, any idea how much it'll cost? Wd don't

As you heard of air, a busy weather night.

28 millimetres in 20 minutes in Gainsborough, about half a lonth's

worth of rain. A lot of rain. Hardly surprise. More thunderstorms to

come, and again tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon, the showers will

be more scattered. We still have low pressure in charge of our wdather,

it is dragging warm and unstable air from the South. Things should settle

down by Thursday. We have bden dragging in these thunderstorms from

the near constant. There is the big clump of thunderstorms, the white

cloud that has moved off from Skegness at about 5:45 p.m.. We are

now looking down to the South. It is quite a nice evening right `cross

East or Yorkshire. Fine with warm sunshine. Thunderstorms track North,

there will be a renewed risk of some localised flooding. It looks like

most of the thunderstorms whll be clear, or just about Clay, by dawn.

Temperatures warm, 13 or 14 Celsius. `` just about clear.

A fine start, a dry start, some mist and fog in places, otherwisd good

sunshine. Through the afternoon as temperatures rise, we will see a

further scattering of thunddry downpours. They should move through

quickly. Quite a few areas will miss them all together and stay dry.

Fairly warm, temperatures jtst a little above average forward early

June, highs of 21 Celsius. The good news is that Wednesday, Thursday and

Friday look warm and dry with some sunshine.

Many will tell you that thex feel there has been a impact on services.

It is something they have pdrsonal experience of. It is diffictlt to

get into the doctors. A big impact on school places. Having an impact

on doctors and hospitals. Today politicians from across the

East Midlands met in Westminster. They've been focusing

on the challenges face by services providers, like schools,

doctors surgeries and the police. Amongst those taking part,

a representative of Boston Borough Council and Lincolnshire's Police

and Crime Commissioner. When you have a high level of churn

in a migrant population, it can be very hard to determine exactly how

many people are in the town and therefore to access the resources

you need. The Chair of Boston's Lithu`nian

community says migrants also deserve decent services as much

as any other citizen. Paperwork and they pay taxes. The

money that has been spent, these people have paid taxes.

Boston Borough Council will hope today's meeting persuades the

Government that more must bd done to help with the impact of migration.

After the meeting, Alan Hardwick told me what impact migration is

having on police resources. We cannot pretend it is not having some

impact, but the truth is th`t we are coping, we are doing more and more

with less and less and I hope the Government don't expect us to do

everything with nothing. But immigration is something th`t we can

tackle, along with our partners Today's meeting was about

immigration and its effects in the East Midlands and I can asstre all

the people of the East Midl`nds including Lincolnshire, that we have

a very mature and effective partnership of all of the forces to

deal with things like seriots and organised crime. You hinted that you

cannot do everything with nothing, do you want more money? One of the

things that I was grateful to hear about was people supporting a cause

for more money for the police to be able to cope with... It is `n

unknown quantity, isn't it? Nobody quite knows how many immigr`nts we

have... But you are managing OK crime is falling, if crime hs

falling he don't see any more money, do you? We are managing OK, but it

is looking to the future. Wd can always do with more in the way of

Government help. And you know what people in Boston say, do yot think

Lincolnshire is at saturation point as far as migrants are concdrned?

That is not the impression H got from the various representatives

today. What I got was a sense of lets look at immigration in a

positive light, and work in a positive light. Does a PC in Boston

need special help and trainhng? I think so, yes. It should be part of

the training for every membdr of every police force, because

immigration is with us, and will continue to be so. Mishler, good to

talk to you, thank you very much indeed.

Is the and so more money? You may have of you.

I play quite a few instruments and to think that he can do such a thing

like that, it makes me push myself. Tom was quiet, really studious and

polite, but very determined. It is not surprising that he has `chieved

his ambition. And another Lincolnshire talent

They love musical theatre, they have worked so hard. What I don't think
