Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The man who says his life is being put at risk | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
Signs go up around Lincoln telling drunken students to be quiet. | :00:12. | :00:37. | |
I gauge the latest reaction to this attempt to get students to keep the | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
noise down. The roar | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
of a Lincolnshire jet engine that's And the 25`foot tall plant that's | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
broken through the roof I will be back later in the | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
programme with the weather. A man from Grimsby who has | :00:59. | :01:20. | |
a potentially fatal heart condition says his life is being put at | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
greater risk because his hospital Phil Green, who's 65, | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
has a heart defect which means he Grimsby business owner Phil Green | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
knows any day could be his last as he waits to find out | :01:36. | :01:55. | |
if life`saving surgery is possible. I really don't know what to do with | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
life, whether to plan anything, I've been told not to go out | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
of the UK for holiday. Some nights I don't go to bed, or I | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
don't go to sleep, because I think if I go to sleep, that will be the | :02:07. | :02:18. | |
end. Phil has an aortic aneurysm, a in the main artery in the body which | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
carries blood away from the heart. It is caused by a weakness | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
in the blood vessel wall. As blood passes through the weakened | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
area, the pressure causes it to If it bursts, death usually | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
occurs within minutes. If it ruptures, | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
that is a medical emergency. It is a significant event, | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
someone would certainly know there The symptoms vary, they might have | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
abdominal pain or chest pain. They might feel nauseated | :02:42. | :02:55. | |
or sweat. Their family would certainly know | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
something was wrong and there is But after being referred to | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
hospital in June, he was given an That too was then cancelled | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
and now it is on the 9th of September, four weeks | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
after the original appointment. It is very, very important to me | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
but it doesn't seem to be important To me, I want to keep living, | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
as we all do. No`one from the Hull and | :03:18. | :03:37. | |
East Yorkshire Hospital NHS Trust was available for interview, but | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
they did send a statement saying, "We would like to acknowledge his | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
concerns and apologise "Every effort will be made to ensure | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
upcoming appointments But this health watchdog says this | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
is a big problem for the trust. The Care Quality Commission, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
when they came to visit and inspect the trust service this | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
year, they picked up on around 20% So that is a lot | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
of people being told quite late in the day that their appointment | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
wasn't going to be taking place. Phil says he just wants | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
the best possible chance of survival, but says, so far, | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
that is not what he's been given. We want to hear from you | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
on this story, have you had a similar experience to | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Phil, maybe you are a doctor or a nurse and have experience of this | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
problem from the other side? Street signs are being put up in | :04:33. | :05:05. | |
Lincoln to try to stop what local The signs are being placed | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
in the West End of the city ahead of Freshers Week, as part | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
of a new campaign called Shush. It's hoped it will encourage | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
students to be more considerate What evidence is there that the | :05:20. | :05:39. | |
students are the problem? There are no specific figures that look at | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
student anti`social behaviour but the total number of anti`social | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
behaviour reported in the city centre was 78 last year but the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
month before this shouldn't population arrived there were more | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
so that suggests it is not just the students that are the issue. People | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
here say that freshers week last year was the worst they have | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
suffered and in all these signs will be one way of giving students the | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
message to be quiet. Going out drinking is part of university life | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
better here in Lincoln some residents say they suffer from rowdy | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
students. This man lives in the West End area of the city and says when | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
the students move back into town he has to move back into his back | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
bedroom to get any sleep. They are up till four o'clock in the morning | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
shouting the street and in some cases getting absolutely silly and | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
kicking over bins and there are instances of vandalism that it is | :06:49. | :07:19. | |
the biggest problem with the noise. I don't think there is an easy or | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
overnight solution. Local residents want to go to sleep and it is that | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
kind of behaviour they are dealing with. Young people really need to | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
have respect for the neighbourhood and be part of the community. The | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
size of fairly small and at least six feet off the ground so will | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
anyone take notice? I don't think so. If they are fuelled with alcohol | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
they will not be reading any signs and just having a good time. I agree | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
that a lot of students are to load. I am very allowed. A similar post a | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
similar poster scheme was tried around ten years ago. In an area | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
which has seen a massive increase in student housing over the last | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
decade, residents hope it will make the minority of troublemakers drink | :08:19. | :08:19. | |
up and shut up. You might also have a view on this | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
story as well, do you have problems with noise? Maybe you are a student | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
and think you are being unfairly The Humber Bridge has reopened after | :08:29. | :08:52. | |
being closed in the afternoon. It is because of a police incident on the | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
bridge. The bridge. There are still long delays. A consultation has | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
begun to the future of library services in Holland. ``in Hull. | :09:05. | :09:20. | |
It's a sure sign that we are entering | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
the general election campaign as politicians from all sides try | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
The latest national opinion poll saw Labour overturn a narrow lead | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
for the Tories and now there's a new set of polls | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
They suggest the Conservatives could face | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
a tough battle to hang`on to seats like Lincoln at the next election. | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
The polls, which have been commissioned | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
by the Tory donor Lord Ashcroft, show Labour ahead in Lincoln | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Our Political Editor Tim Iredale is here. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
We know that voters in certain towns and cities can give us a big clue | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
as to the outcome of a general election. | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
Lincoln, for example, generally chooses an MP | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
from the party that goes on to form the government of the day. | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
In 2010 the seat was won by Conservative Karl McCartney. | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
Lincoln is what the opinion pollsters describe | :10:17. | :10:17. | |
In any general election parties want to win as many seats as possible | :10:18. | :10:32. | |
next year it looks as if it will be very close. What is interesting | :10:33. | :10:42. | |
about areas like Lincoln and Grimsby is that the party that a second has | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
to try to win that seat if it is to stand any chance. | :10:48. | :11:02. | |
The poll of constituencies, commissioned by the former | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
and Tory donor Lord Ashcroft ` Labour have established a small lead | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Labour are on 37% ` four points ahead of the Tories. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
These polls have around a 3% margin of error and are the only surveys of | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Polling has also taken place in Great Grimsby ` | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
where the current Labour MP Austin Mitchell will step down next year. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
The figures show Labour ahead on 37%, but with UKIP in second place | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Grimsby has only had two MPs since the 1970s. But now it is more of a | :11:27. | :11:43. | |
marginal and more of a target for the Conservatives and also as a | :11:44. | :11:44. | |
target for UKIP. Remember, opinion polls always | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
should be treated with caution. They are a snapshot of voters' | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
views at this moment in time. Any politician will tell you | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
the only poll that matters is I'm joined now by David Mitchell, | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
who's lived in Lincoln for 40 years and is a member of The West End | :11:59. | :12:11. | |
Resident's Association. What is it about living near a | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
university that is so hard? Is it students coming home late at night? | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
It is appalling. We have had it for ten years and we have a wonderful | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
residents Association and for local councillors who are absolutely | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
superb. We have not helped by the university authorities. We are | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
however helped by the students union and it is the lack of police with | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
this appalling noise and bad behaviour. It is now until around | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
five o'clock in the morning which is intolerable. Do you think this | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
campaign will work and sort the problem out? I hope you can see me | :12:57. | :13:16. | |
with a rice mail. ``a wry smile. We have had it before and it does not | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
work at all. What about people who are asking that if you live at an | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
alia 23 away from the University, what do you expect? ``live in an | :13:30. | :13:56. | |
area. I am sorry but we will not be forced out. We're having this seven | :13:57. | :14:06. | |
nights a week. The government estimates the university is worth | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
more than ?200 million to the local economy. You cannot demonise the | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
students of drive them away when you have that sort of figure. There are | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
some very nice young people doubt that when they go out like | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
wildebeest and heads of 30 at midnight they are already tanked | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
up. ``herds of 30. Still ahead tonight: The roar of a | :14:27. | :14:47. | |
Lincolnshire jet engine that's being used in the BBC Proms. | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
And the 25`foot tall plant that's broken through the roof of its | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
owners' greenhouse. Jackie Osgodby took this from the | :15:02. | :15:15. | |
top of the turret at Lincoln Tomorrow does not look like a | :15:16. | :15:59. | |
billion today. It will feel cool. `` a brilliant day. | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
billion today. It will feel cool. `` a brilliant day. The showers will | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
continue to use away over the next couple of hours and there will be | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
clear spells this evening. Cloud is spilling down from the north into | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
parts of east Yorkshire. In Lincolnshire temperatures will | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
remain the lowest. The sun will rise just before six o'clock in the | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
morning. High water will be just for 4am. Tomorrow morning Lincolnshire | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
will not be too bad and there will be more cloud across the North was | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
showery bursts of rain. The cloud and showery bursts of rain will ease | :16:51. | :17:00. | |
eventually but it will feel cool with that breeze and it will be | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
disappointing at 15 degrees or 16 degrees. On Friday, sunshine and a | :17:08. | :17:20. | |
few showers. It will be very cold indeed but largely dry and bright | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
for Saturday and Sunday. Monday will be rainy and windy. | :17:25. | :17:36. | |
People living in Winterton say they'll fight plans to sell off the | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
North Lincolnshire town's football ground. Winterton Rangers claims its | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
club is running at a loss, and wants to sell what's considered to be | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
community land to a housing developer. But the club's directors | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
insist the money would be used to relocate it to a new ground. Crispin | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
Rolfe has more. Outside the gates of Winterton Rangers. Campaigners | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
calling for the club to stay put and not to sell for housing what many | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
consider to be community land. The club's put its prime site up for | :18:07. | :18:18. | |
sale for ?2.5 million, to the dismay of neighbours. | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
This is a community club and has been here for over 70 years. The | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
thought of having houses here is very upsetting. | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
Junior teams play here alongside the club's first team, but Winterton | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Rangers insists sports facilities won't be lost, just relocated. | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
We should be able to relocate and provide a more bespoke facility | :18:51. | :18:59. | |
without maintenance or expenditure to achieve exactly the same aims. | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
Winterton's not the only sports facility that's been facing | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
financial pressures. Hull's Young People's Institute has been forced | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
to sell land too. The difference is that the sale here is only on the | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
condition that it remains in place for sport. | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
And in Winterton, that's the fear ` uncertainty of how this site will be | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
used. So now there are calls for local groups to bid to take it over. | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
Any community group that comes up with a business plan can put that | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
for what in the next six months and hopefully we will get more people to | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
come forward to try to get this going. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
may help financially, but right now the club seems set on exploring its | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
options. Which could mean the loss of community facilities and land in | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
A specially commissioned piece of music will include the sound | :19:49. | :19:58. | |
of a 1960's jet they restored at Metheringham Airfield. | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
The ears of these aviation enthusiasts, and now to lovers of | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
classical music as well. The sound of the engine has been chosen to be | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
part of a special piece of music, performed for the first time at the | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
BBC Proms this evening. Paul Flynn and his team at the airfield in | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
Lincolnshire contributed the sound of the aircraft they have spent the | :20:16. | :20:25. | |
last decade restoring. We think we've spent upwards of 20,000 | :20:26. | :20:45. | |
man`hours on the aeroplane and we've certainly spent an amount of money | :20:46. | :21:04. | |
The music, commissioned by BBC Radio Four, | :21:05. | :21:05. | |
includes 18 everyday sounds, all contributed by listeners. They | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
include the sound of thunder... And even the sound of Crewe railway | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
station. The aircraft was originally used to train pilots before | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
performing in air displays, but when it was found in a scrapyard, this | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
is what it looked like. It was just an empty shell, the wings have been | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
broken off. All the interior was missing, there was no engine. Will | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
it ever fly again? No, we've tried long and hard to locate the original | :21:43. | :21:51. | |
paperwork for the aeroplane, it is never come to light. Without that | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
provenance, it will stay firmly rooted to the ground. The team have | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
been invited to the first public performance of the competition, | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
taking place at the Royal Academy of Music. It may never take to the | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
skies of Britain again, but at least it will | :22:07. | :22:08. | |

and give us your telephone number. Hull City's big summer signing | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
Robert Snodgrass faces six months on the sidelines after being diagnosed | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
with a dislocated knee cap. Snodgrass was injured during the | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
victory over Queens Park Rangers at the weekend. Manager Steve Bruce | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
confirmed the news before boarding the plane for the Tigers next | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
European game in Belgium. We've lost Robert Snodgrass now, and | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
with the diagnosis we're thinking we're going to lose him for | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
six months, which is a big blow to us all, because we spent a terrible | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
amount of money to add to the midfield area, and obviously we've | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
lost him. He's out for the best part of the | :23:09. | :23:23. | |
season. It's a tragedy for him and The Irons were beaten 2`0 by | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
Fleetwood Town ` one of the two sides promoted with | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
them at the end of last season. Manager Russ Wilcox is looking for | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
an improvement all`round. Obviously, we don't want to lose the | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
first six, but it is a long way to go. We have 43 | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
games yet, we need that first win soon to give everybody belief and | :23:50. | :23:52. | |

routine ahead of the performance at A married couple from Lincolnshire | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
who have grown cacti for decades say a 25`foot plant has become | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
part of their family. The succulent, commonly mistaken for a cactus, was | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
bought by the couple in France 50 years ago. It grew so quickly, it | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
even smashed their greenhouse roof. This plant has taken growing towards | :24:23. | :24:48. | |
the sun quite literally. The plant used to be this big. A lot of them | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
do not grow anywhere near as big so we just waited, as you doing these | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
things. This one grew too big. This plant has been growing for over 50 | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
years. They have never raised anything the spec. Having kept it | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
for 50 or 60 years, it has been part and parcel of the family and it is | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
one of those things that is always been sitting at the end of the | :25:26. | :25:40. | |
greenhouse. We need a chainsaw to try and keep the flower stem intact | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
but when we put it is probably going to be up on the part of the roof as | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
a talking point. It is not a completely sad end to the story. If | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
you look under here, for offsets are many plans can be ``or mini plants | :25:59. | :26:20. | |
can also be planted. It is not clear why are plant bought in the South of | :26:21. | :26:25. | |

that its offshoots will always be part of the family. | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines. | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
The US, UK and France express disgust over the apparent beheading | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
