:01:21. > :01:23.a potentially fatal heart condition says his life is being put at
:01:24. > :01:31.greater risk because his hospital Phil Green, who's 65,
:01:32. > :01:35.has a heart defect which means he Grimsby business owner Phil Green
:01:36. > :01:55.knows any day could be his last as he waits to find out

:02:03. > :02:06.of the UK for holiday. Some nights I don't go to bed, or I
:02:07. > :02:18.don't go to sleep, because I think if I go to sleep, that will be the
:02:19. > :02:22.end. Phil has an aortic aneurysm, a in the main artery in the body which
:02:23. > :02:25.carries blood away from the heart. It is caused by a weakness
:02:26. > :02:28.in the blood vessel wall. As blood passes through the weakened
:02:29. > :02:31.area, the pressure causes it to If it bursts, death usually
:02:32. > :02:34.occurs within minutes. If it ruptures,
:02:35. > :02:39.that is a medical emergency. It is a significant event,
:02:40. > :02:41.someone would certainly know there The symptoms vary, they might have
:02:42. > :02:55.abdominal pain or chest pain. They might feel nauseated
:02:56. > :02:57.or sweat. Their family would certainly know
:02:58. > :02:59.something was wrong and there is But after being referred to
:03:00. > :03:03.hospital in June, he was given an That too was then cancelled
:03:04. > :03:09.and now it is on the 9th of September, four weeks
:03:10. > :03:13.after the original appointment. It is very, very important to me
:03:14. > :03:17.but it doesn't seem to be important To me, I want to keep living,
:03:18. > :03:37.as we all do. No`one from the Hull and
:03:38. > :03:39.East Yorkshire Hospital NHS Trust was available for interview, but
:03:40. > :03:44.they did send a statement saying, "We would like to acknowledge his
:03:45. > :03:52.concerns and apologise "Every effort will be made to ensure
:03:53. > :03:57.upcoming appointments But this health watchdog says this
:03:58. > :04:02.is a big problem for the trust. The Care Quality Commission,
:04:03. > :04:04.when they came to visit and inspect the trust service this
:04:05. > :04:07.year, they picked up on around 20% So that is a lot
:04:08. > :04:13.of people being told quite late in the day that their appointment
:04:14. > :04:16.wasn't going to be taking place. Phil says he just wants
:04:17. > :04:18.the best possible chance of survival, but says, so far,
:04:19. > :04:24.that is not what he's been given. We want to hear from you
:04:25. > :04:28.on this story, have you had a similar experience to
:04:29. > :04:32.Phil, maybe you are a doctor or a nurse and have experience of this
:04:33. > :05:05.problem from the other side? Street signs are being put up in

:05:09. > :05:16.in the West End of the city ahead of Freshers Week, as part
:05:17. > :05:19.of a new campaign called Shush. It's hoped it will encourage
:05:20. > :05:39.students to be more considerate What evidence is there that the
:05:40. > :05:45.students are the problem? There are no specific figures that look at
:05:46. > :05:49.student anti`social behaviour but the total number of anti`social
:05:50. > :05:54.behaviour reported in the city centre was 78 last year but the
:05:55. > :06:00.month before this shouldn't population arrived there were more
:06:01. > :06:06.so that suggests it is not just the students that are the issue. People
:06:07. > :06:11.here say that freshers week last year was the worst they have
:06:12. > :06:20.suffered and in all these signs will be one way of giving students the
:06:21. > :06:23.message to be quiet. Going out drinking is part of university life
:06:24. > :06:28.better here in Lincoln some residents say they suffer from rowdy
:06:29. > :06:32.students. This man lives in the West End area of the city and says when
:06:33. > :06:40.the students move back into town he has to move back into his back
:06:41. > :06:44.bedroom to get any sleep. They are up till four o'clock in the morning
:06:45. > :06:48.shouting the street and in some cases getting absolutely silly and
:06:49. > :07:19.kicking over bins and there are instances of vandalism that it is
:07:20. > :07:23.the biggest problem with the noise. I don't think there is an easy or
:07:24. > :07:28.overnight solution. Local residents want to go to sleep and it is that
:07:29. > :07:35.kind of behaviour they are dealing with. Young people really need to
:07:36. > :07:41.have respect for the neighbourhood and be part of the community. The
:07:42. > :07:45.size of fairly small and at least six feet off the ground so will
:07:46. > :07:51.anyone take notice? I don't think so. If they are fuelled with alcohol
:07:52. > :08:00.they will not be reading any signs and just having a good time. I agree
:08:01. > :08:05.that a lot of students are to load. I am very allowed. A similar post a
:08:06. > :08:13.similar poster scheme was tried around ten years ago. In an area
:08:14. > :08:18.which has seen a massive increase in student housing over the last
:08:19. > :08:19.decade, residents hope it will make the minority of troublemakers drink
:08:20. > :08:24.up and shut up. You might also have a view on this
:08:25. > :08:28.story as well, do you have problems with noise? Maybe you are a student
:08:29. > :08:52.and think you are being unfairly The Humber Bridge has reopened after

:09:38. > :09:44.a tough battle to hang`on to seats like Lincoln at the next election.
:09:45. > :09:50.The polls, which have been commissioned
:09:51. > :09:53.by the Tory donor Lord Ashcroft, show Labour ahead in Lincoln
:09:54. > :09:56.Our Political Editor Tim Iredale is here.
:09:57. > :10:01.We know that voters in certain towns and cities can give us a big clue
:10:02. > :10:03.as to the outcome of a general election.
:10:04. > :10:08.Lincoln, for example, generally chooses an MP
:10:09. > :10:11.from the party that goes on to form the government of the day.
:10:12. > :10:16.In 2010 the seat was won by Conservative Karl McCartney.

:10:18. > :10:32.In any general election parties want to win as many seats as possible
:10:33. > :10:42.next year it looks as if it will be very close. What is interesting
:10:43. > :10:47.about areas like Lincoln and Grimsby is that the party that a second has
:10:48. > :11:02.to try to win that seat if it is to stand any chance.

:11:27. > :11:43.Grimsby has only had two MPs since the 1970s. But now it is more of a
:11:44. > :11:44.marginal and more of a target for the Conservatives and also as a
:11:45. > :11:50.target for UKIP. Remember, opinion polls always
:11:51. > :11:52.should be treated with caution. They are a snapshot of voters'
:11:53. > :11:55.views at this moment in time. Any politician will tell you
:11:56. > :11:58.the only poll that matters is I'm joined now by David Mitchell,
:11:59. > :12:11.who's lived in Lincoln for 40 years and is a member of The West End
:12:12. > :12:20.Resident's Association. What is it about living near a
:12:21. > :12:27.university that is so hard? Is it students coming home late at night?
:12:28. > :12:32.It is appalling. We have had it for ten years and we have a wonderful
:12:33. > :12:36.residents Association and for local councillors who are absolutely
:12:37. > :12:40.superb. We have not helped by the university authorities. We are
:12:41. > :12:47.however helped by the students union and it is the lack of police with
:12:48. > :12:51.this appalling noise and bad behaviour. It is now until around
:12:52. > :12:56.five o'clock in the morning which is intolerable. Do you think this
:12:57. > :13:16.campaign will work and sort the problem out? I hope you can see me
:13:17. > :13:22.with a rice mail. ``a wry smile. We have had it before and it does not
:13:23. > :13:29.work at all. What about people who are asking that if you live at an

:14:11. > :14:15.more than ?200 million to the local economy. You cannot demonise the
:14:16. > :14:20.students of drive them away when you have that sort of figure. There are
:14:21. > :14:23.some very nice young people doubt that when they go out like
