Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Fridays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news and of course Lisa will have the weather forecast.
If youre a motorist, then do not miss tonights programme as well have some stories of interest for you. I'll have the latest on the row over the A1079. It's the key route from Hull and York and we'll be asking whether or not the road should be upgraded or if speed cameras alone are enough to keep speed down and to cut the number of accidents. Ill have the full story on this and Ill be getting your reaction to the thirteen new speed cameras that go live today on a twelve mile stretch of that road. Its apparently the highest concentration of cameras in our region and Ill be finding out more on that. On tonight's programme, I'll be finding out how we can beat the car thieves as Look North is out on patrol with the boys in blue in Skegness. Police in the area are launching a crackdown on car crime after a recent spate of thefts and break-ins. Well be following the officers and getting tips for all residents and holidaymakers in the region on how to keep our belongings safe. And find out why shark fishing in Bridlington is set to boost the town's future prospects. Can you believe that? Shark fishing! They hope it will encourage a more diverse trade in the resort and boost tourism as more and more holidaymakers come to the region for recreational fishing. And I'll be speaking to a regeneration expert about what plans he may have for the East Riding as an eighteenth century naval wreck is raised. Ill have the full story on that later. Lincolnshire has roughly seventy thousand migrant workers, all doing the jobs we dont want to do and doing it for less money. They now have a new champion - we'll meet the only dedicated chaplain working with migrant workers in Boston. Plus we'll be live with our Home Grown family, who have survived the week living off locally grown and produced food. As weve seen, it hasnt been easy, but have they enjoyed the experience or are they now reaching for the tin of baked beans? Well be live with the family tonight. I hope you can join me at half past six. Opera Theres opera from the Big Screen tonight! This time its Turandot and thats just to get us in the mood ahead of a big sporting weekend. If you want to come along, then the entertainment starts at a quarter to seven and the opera starts about half an hour later. Chairs will be provided. Thats a relief isnt it? So you dont have to lug your sofa to Queen Victoria Square. And you can bring your own picnics and drinks and just come along and enjoy the third and final opera from the Big Screen. Thats Turandot in the centre of Hull starting at a quarter to five. House Prices House prices fell last month, knocking £2200 pounds off the price of a typical house in this country. Thats boosted fears that for the first time, in quite a few years, house prices could actually drop. Thats bad news then for home owners, but its only one survey and it was only a few weeks back that I was reporting a record rise in house prices in just one month, so what do we believe? Humber Bridge Just a reminder that this time next week, well be down at the Hessle foreshore getting ready for our outside broadcast, preparing to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Humber Bridge. If you are around and you can make it down to the Hessle foreshore next Friday evening for about a quarter past six, then I look forward to seeing you there. Buddy Holly Weve got that exclusive competition for Levy Letter readers to win tickets to see the Buddy Holly musical in York in August. Its a wonderful show and weve had a lot of entries already, but theres still time to enter. So all youve got to do is to name one of Buddy Hollys hit songs. Just name a song and email me with the answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] And you will then be in with a chance to win tickets to see that wonderful show. Television Well, its a very big sporting weekend coming up. Its the end of Wimbledon and also the end of the World Cup. Its also quite a big rugby weekend too. So if sport is your thing, then whoever youre supporting, or whatever youre watching, then enjoy this weekend. Talking of television, I see that after twelve years, the BBC has decided to axe the Vicar of Dibley. If there are any other programmes that youd like to see axed (think very carefully before you answer that one!!), then email me in. Its the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Letter If youre talking to anyone at the weekend and if youve got any friends, who are not signed up to the Levy Letter and you think they would like one, then please do some PR for us! Point them in the direction of the two addresses at the bottom of the page, click on Levy Letter and sign up. Theyll then get their first Levy Letter from Monday. West End If youre a great lover of musicals and youd like to get down to the West End of London, and not just for musicals, but for plays as well, then I see that the cost of tickets has never been lower. And I suppose thats for various reasons lots of people going on holiday, or watching the World Cup and also the anniversary of the London bombings. Theyre saying that the ticket sales are very slow, so all of the theatres have got plenty of seats up for grabs. Its almost worth taking a train down and trying to see a show that youd really like to watch. Talking of which, earlier in the week, we had a young local lad, who was up for an audition with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber for the part of Kurt in The Sound of Music. Well, I havent heard how he got on. He probably hasnt heard himself how he got on yet, but as soon as we know, then Ill let you know too. Well, that's it from me for today. Have a very good day and a good weekend and look out for your Levy Letter again on Monday.
