Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. Its the start of another week. Join me tonight on BBC One at half past six. Ill have all the days news and also Paul will have the detailed weather forecast for us tonight.
On tonight's programme, a BBC investigation will show that over half of coaches in children's football associations in Lincolnshire have not been vetted by police. Look North will be looking at why our children are being put at risk. Ill have the full story tonight on the programme. Plus I'll be talking to the man in charge of Hull's parking attendants. I'll be asking him if he gives his wardens targets to meet and also putting some of your questions and concerns to him. Join me for that tonight. What would you do to help your community? Well, I'll be meeting a man, who's adopted his local railway station after years of neglect. Plus, I'll be chatting to a Lincoln church leader, who wants to put cash machines in churches. And I'll be chatting to a local teacher, who has been criticising role models like David Beckham at a national conference. So a busy programme tonight. Join me at half past six if you can. Positively Happy Thats the title of the new book by Noel Edmonds, which is all about Cosmic Ordering. And already, Ive started to read the book and have made a few orders as well. Im now just waiting for them to come true. So thats Noel Edmonds with Cosmic Ways To Change Your Life. Thats the title of his book and Im only a few chapters in, but Ive made some orders already. If they come true, then youll be the first to hear about it! And if they do, then its probably the best £7.99 Ive ever spent! So, Ill let you know how I get on with Cosmic Ordering. Pictures Dont forget if youve got some pictures that you think that I would like to see for the programme to show on the Big Screen, then let me know and let me take a look. Also, if youve got a problem that we could tackle on your behalf on the programme on Leave it to Levy, then do drop me a line and give me the details. Give me a contact telephone number as well. The address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Guests Thanks for the emails suggesting a variety of guests for the programme. Were working on some of them now. And theres someone, whos has been routinely requested to have on the programme and that is Maureen Lipman. She has been on in the past and I see that shes on her way to Hull on the 20th September to Willerby and to the Ramada Hotel there. And thats for a literary lunch. So maybe when she comes up well be able to get her on the programme. The Gibbons In Decline, But The Horse Is Stable thats the name of her new book. Its certainly an interesting title, isnt it? And Maureen Lipman will be in Hull in September and well see if we can get her on the programme then. Noisy Neighbours This is a subject, which comes up time and time again, but just at the moment it has reached fever pitch. I think its something like 126% increase in noisy neighbours over the past twelve months. There have been complaints about all sorts of things, including all the usual problems like loud music. But now the top advice to sort out your problem is actually tea and cake. Youve probably seen the adverts for this. You pop around to your neighbours with some cake and ask them to put on the kettle. Then you sit down and have a nice cosy chat over a cup of tea and a slice of cake and you can then sort out your problems and issues. Anyway, thats the advice just out. Theres been a huge increase in the number of complaints and moans about our noisy neighbours. Weve all had problems with our neighbours. If youve got some examples of bad neighbours or neighbours from hell, then let me know. Drop me a line and let me know. Ill put some of them in the Levy Letter, but of cours! e with no names mentioned! I dont want to increase your problems any more by mentioning who you are! Story Of Entertainment BBC Two have had this wonderful programme on Saturday nights. I mentioned this a couple of weeks back. Its the history of light entertainment and its worked through the ages. Theyve done the double acts and theyve done the importance of radio. Its been a really good series. Its on BBC Two on Saturday nights. If youve been watching it, then I hope youve enjoyed it. Also what do we think about the programme to find the new Maria for The Sound of Music. I was watching that as well on Saturday night. It was in Andrew Lloyd Webbers house where all the Marias were auditioning. It certainly was compulsive TV, but are you enjoying it or not? Let me know what you think about that and indeed about anything else that youre watching at the moment - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debt I see that the number of homes that are at risk in this country and the number of homes that have been repossessed and the number of homeowners, who are over twelve months behind with their mortgages is absolutely at the top than its ever been. Its at the highest levels since the nineties housing crisis. Spiralling levels of debt threaten to ruin tens of thousands of families, according to shocking figures just published. Repossessions, mortgage arrears and bankruptcies have all rocketed over the last year. The numbers, who risk losing their homes, has returned to levels, which have not been seen since the dark days of the early 1990s. Experts predict that a record 100,000 people, and possible more, could be made insolvent this year. In the first six months, one person was made insolvent every minute by the courts in England and Wales. Thats frightening isnt it? How is that actually happening? Thats just extraordinary. Today, however, the problem is caused by the number! of us, who are binging on credit and living on the never-never as we used to say. But there are spiralling problems on credit and debt in this country at the moment. So, on that cheerful note, thats it from me for today. Join me tonight for Look North on BBC One at 6.30pm for all the days news. And if theres something you think I should know about thats happening in your local area, then get in touch straight away. You can get me direct on [EMAIL PROTECTED] See you tonight!
