:01:18. > :01:20.grants. Tonight a petition asking ministers for more funding for
:01:21. > :01:23.people in rural communities will be handed in at the House of Commons.
:01:24. > :01:29.Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart will be joined by other MPs
:01:30. > :01:32.and community groups. Almost 20,000 people have signed the petition.
:01:33. > :01:36.Emma Massey has been to the village of Withenwick in East Yorkshire
:01:37. > :01:40.where people say their lives are being affected by cuts to services.
:01:41. > :01:44.Paul Doyle has been living in Withernwick in rural East Yorkshire
:01:45. > :01:49.for eight years. He lives just across the road from his local pub.
:01:50. > :01:58.But for many village residents there's a lack of local amenities
:01:59. > :02:01.and services. I suppose I choose to live any village but it seem
:02:02. > :02:08.unfair. We would like more facilities, for example we don't
:02:09. > :02:16.have a village hall. We have a strong community. This has become
:02:17. > :02:24.more apparent over the last few years because in a lot of villages
:02:25. > :02:27.the pub is the only thing left. It is just the way villages are these
:02:28. > :02:30.days. Rural residents earn ?2,184 a year
:02:31. > :02:37.less, on average than those in towns and cities. But they pay ?85 more in
:02:38. > :02:40.Council Tax per person, and see rural communities receive 50% fewer
:02:41. > :02:43.Government grants per head than in urban areas. So people in the
:02:44. > :02:53.countryside earn less, pay more taxes and receive substantially less
:02:54. > :02:56.support for services. And this disparity is the subject of
:02:57. > :02:59.a Fair Share petition which will be presented to Westminster tonight by
:03:00. > :03:11.Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart. The fact that the situation
:03:12. > :03:15.is as it is does not mean it is justified. We don't think that there
:03:16. > :03:19.should not be more money going into deprived urban centres but this 50%
:03:20. > :03:22.disparity is too much and it needs to be reduced.
:03:23. > :03:25.Debbie and Martin live in nearby in Whitton and say their village also
:03:26. > :03:33.lacks decent services and they welcome the Fair Share petition. We
:03:34. > :03:39.are poorly served from to city areas. We don't have so many good
:03:40. > :03:43.places for children to play and the bus service is not too good.
:03:44. > :03:51.But experts say there's a reason for the imbalance. City authorities are
:03:52. > :03:58.bound to argue that they need higher amounts because children are often
:03:59. > :04:00.poor and more deprived than those in rural areas.
:04:01. > :04:03.While there are also advantages of living in some rural areas like
:04:04. > :04:06.longer life expectancy and less crime seem inviting, many people
:04:07. > :04:10.like Paul are united in wanting a fairer deal for these communities.
:04:11. > :04:18.And today's petition could make all the difference. A very interesting
:04:19. > :04:21.discussion point. Our political editor, Tim Iredale,
:04:22. > :04:24.is live in Westminster tonight where the petition will be handed over.
:04:25. > :04:27.Will the Government take any notice of this?
:04:28. > :04:30.But what about MPs in urban areas, how would they feel about changes to
:04:31. > :04:32.the way their communities are funded? They are under tremendous
:04:33. > :04:35.pressure, especially considering that so many Government ministers
:04:36. > :04:42.themselves represent countryside constituencies. Although this rural
:04:43. > :04:46.fair share campaign is being led by Beverly's Graham Stuart, more than
:04:47. > :04:50.40 MPs will tonight hand in petitions to the House of Commons
:04:51. > :04:56.and the will claim that people living in rural areas are part of a
:04:57. > :05:09.silent majority. Poor public transport, closures of libraries are
:05:10. > :05:13.just some of the issues for them. The Government is always telling us
:05:14. > :05:19.there's only so much money to go around in difficult times. Many MPs
:05:20. > :05:25.representing places like Hull and Grimsby will say that ab initio get
:05:26. > :05:34.more money because they are more deprived. They will claim to have
:05:35. > :05:44.been disproportionately hit by austerity measures. As we all know,
:05:45. > :05:49.you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
:05:50. > :05:53.Thank you very much. We want to hear from you on this
:05:54. > :05:56.story. Should more money be available to help boost services in
:05:57. > :05:59.rural areas? Or is that the price you pay if you choose to live in the
:06:00. > :06:32.countryside? In a moment: thank you for watching.

:06:51. > :06:53.A woman from Grimsby accused of stealing compensation money from her
:06:54. > :06:56.disabled daughter has been found not guilty on one count of theft. The
:06:57. > :06:59.jury reached a unanimous verdict, that Cathy Watson, seen here in the
:07:00. > :07:03.pink scarf, was not responsible of the theft of ?53,000, but have so
:07:04. > :07:06.far failed to reach a unanimous verdict on three other counts of
:07:07. > :07:09.theft, and one of transferring criminal property ` all of which she
:07:10. > :07:15.has denied. Her ex`husband Robert Hills has already pleaded guilty to
:07:16. > :07:17.four counts of theft. It's been confirmed that Neil
:07:18. > :07:21.Rhodes, Lincolnshire's temporary police Chief Constable is the only
:07:22. > :07:24.person to have applied for the role on a permanent basis. Mr Rhodes,
:07:25. > :07:27.seen here on the right was cleared of misconduct in August after a five
:07:28. > :07:36.month investigation. An interview for the role will be held later this

:07:54. > :07:56.coastal towns could soon be improved. The Yorkshire Ambulance
:07:57. > :07:59.Service is committed to increasing the number of rapid response
:08:00. > :08:06.vehicles ` following a recent review. A grieving son from Hornsea,
:08:07. > :08:13.whose dying father had to wait half an hour for an ambulance, has given
:08:14. > :08:15.the news a cautious welcome. Our health correspondent, Vicky Johnson
:08:16. > :08:19.reports. Our coastal towns can be lovely to
:08:20. > :08:24.visit ` but not if you suddenly need an ambulance. Response times are
:08:25. > :08:30.often well below the national average. But now extra rapid
:08:31. > :08:33.response vehicles could be put on stand`by in Bridlington, Withernsea
:08:34. > :08:37.and Hornsea. This news has been given a cautious welcome by the
:08:38. > :08:40.Poole family in Hornsea who had to give their dying father cardiac
:08:41. > :08:51.massage while they waited for a crew to arrive from Hull. When I see the
:08:52. > :08:55.difference in response times and those figures changing I just want
:08:56. > :09:03.another family to go what we went through. The proposed changes are in
:09:04. > :09:06.response to a recent review of the service. Ambulance officials have
:09:07. > :09:09.recently carried out a review of their service. They told us in a
:09:10. > :09:12.statement. "In the East Riding, the review suggested that it would be
:09:13. > :09:15.beneficial to have extra resources in this area, specifically more
:09:16. > :09:17.rapid response vehicles operated by fully`qualified clinicians, which
:09:18. > :09:21.will improve response times and further enhance patient outcomes.
:09:22. > :09:33.More volunteers will also be recruited. Good news. It is those
:09:34. > :09:40.cases where time is critical and we need Ambulance Services to get there
:09:41. > :09:50.more quickly. The pool family believe that more vehicles will not
:09:51. > :09:56.solve the problem. I don't think it is enough just to have them. But
:09:57. > :10:01.more needs to be done to help families stay safe. And join staff
:10:02. > :10:05.are still being consulted on the changes but it is hoped that the
:10:06. > :10:15.extra vehicles will cover coastal areas by early next year. Give us
:10:16. > :10:33.your thoughts to this problem also. Firefighters in East Yorkshire and
:10:34. > :10:41.Lincolnshire have again walked out on strike today in a dispute over
:10:42. > :10:44.pensions. We hate striking, especially with
:10:45. > :10:52.the nature of the work we do. There's more increased risk and we
:10:53. > :10:56.don't want to let the public down. But this really is a last option `
:10:57. > :11:08.we don't know what else we can do to resolve this. On Friday night I was
:11:09. > :11:10.talking to the Fire Brigade union. We asked for your views on this and
:11:11. > :12:16.got a big response. Still ahead tonight: we are at

:13:29. > :13:35.the West. Coming in from the west through the course of tomorrow. It
:13:36. > :13:38.has been a beautiful day today with plenty of sunshine around and it is

:14:00. > :14:17.could be a way soon. Temperatures down to zero or minus one Celsius. A

:16:09. > :16:12.People are probably sad to see them go, as we are within the business,

:16:39. > :16:44.network and get more trains to help customers get to where they need to

:17:30. > :17:38.time and it'll never be forgotten. But we have to move on.
:17:39. > :17:41.But there is some light at the end of the tunnel: two of our
:17:42. > :17:45.Lincolnshire boxes have been awarded special listed status. This
:17:46. > :17:50.timber`framed one in Skegness built in 1882 is said to be a rare example
:17:51. > :17:53.of its type and the largest to still survive. And in Wainfleet, this box
:17:54. > :18:01.built in 1899, still retains its original exterior and lever`frame
:18:02. > :18:05.mechanism. Both will be preserved. For Daz and Janice, they'll still be
:18:06. > :18:39.part of the railway ` they'll just be moving on. A good story. A new
:18:40. > :18:44.bus service has been launched today to serve people using the steep
:18:45. > :18:49.hill. We have a very unique geography here in Lincoln. We have
:18:50. > :18:54.the city centre that is almost a mile long and to be able to get
:18:55. > :19:01.people from the commercial heart of the city to the uphill visitor

:19:52. > :19:59.up in West Cumbria. Good crowds. Today it is Papa New Guinea against
:20:00. > :20:02.Samoa. The last time PNG plays against brands they had an
:20:03. > :20:09.exhilarating start. They were then trailing the French by several
:20:10. > :20:25.points. Then this Click was born away. What is it like to have Craven

2:54:12 > 2:54:11time. On Saturday, a third professional bout but he was rarely
2:54:12 > 2:54:11on the ropes. Speed, movement and some powerful punches gave Campbell
2:54:12 > 2:54:11the edge. Then a flurry finished Connelly off. I am looking at alia
2:54:12 > 2:54:11titles and English titles. He won't be far off the top. It is down to my
2:54:12 > 2:54:11team. I concentrate on myself in the gym and getting in the best possible
2:54:12 > 2:54:11shape I can be for each fight. Tommy Coyle also won at the weekend. The
2:54:12 > 2:54:11referee stopped his match. He is ready to go now and I put the
2:54:12 > 2:54:11pressure on and it worked. Could Campbell make it to? He is

2:54:12 > 2:54:11soon! Anne`Marie Tasker has been to meet her.
2:54:12 > 2:54:11She can make jeans and a tshirt look glamorous. But this is the look that
2:54:12 > 2:54:11won Annemarie Leake Glamorous Gran UK 2013. The 54`year`old from Louth
2:54:12 > 2:54:11is no stranger to beauty pageants. She was Grimsby and Cleethorpes
2:54:12 > 2:54:11Parade Queen, Miss Lincolnshire, and Miss Vigilante before winning her
2:54:12 > 2:54:11latest crown as Glamorous Gran. I think more people should do it! It
2:54:12 > 2:54:11is better than any happy pill that I can think of and it gets you to
2:54:12 > 2:54:11smile and I think nowadays there is a lot of gloom and doom, so a little
2:54:12 > 2:54:11bit of glitz and glamour is nice! Annemarie doesn't let glamour stand
2:54:12 > 2:54:11in the way of playing with her granddaughter, Myah. Though she'd
2:54:12 > 2:54:11rather be a superhero than pageant princess. But her daughter Kate is
2:54:12 > 2:54:11following in her mum's footsteps. As well as being a beautician, she's
2:54:12 > 2:54:11currently in the running to become Miss Galaxy. My friends cannot
2:54:12 > 2:54:11believe that it is my mum doing this. It doesn't matter what age you
2:54:12 > 2:54:11are, you can still do it! My mum proves that things can go on to
2:54:12 > 2:54:11however old you are. It's not hard to see how Annemarie
2:54:12 > 2:54:11has won so many titles. But what is the secret to her glamorous looks? I
2:54:12 > 2:54:11do not go to bed early and I have never eaten breakfast. I don't know
2:54:12 > 2:54:11if that has anything to do with it, but I like raw food. Evidently I
2:54:12 > 2:54:11have some good genes and have hopefully passed that on to my
2:54:12 > 2:54:11daughters and granddaughter. There are many glamorous grans out
2:54:12 > 2:54:11there: actress Goldie Hawn, Princess Katherine's mum, Carol Middleton,
2:54:12 > 2:54:11and actress Joanna Lumley. Now Annemarie's joined them in being
2:54:12 > 2:54:11absolutely fabulous. I have been eating breakfast but
2:54:12 > 2:54:11that must be where I have been going wrong! Don't forget if you have a
2:54:12 > 2:54:11story that we should know about, please send us an e`mail. Let's have
