Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to Monday's Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope you'll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six as usual. I'll have all the day's news and Paul will have the forecast.
On tonight's programme, ahead of the local elections, we'll be getting the latest on the postal vote problems that are happening in North East Lincolnshire. Plus we'll be talking with the migrant workers, who are concerned about extremists getting votes in the local elections. They fear that it will mean negative prospects for foreign workers in the region. Ill have the full story tonight on the programme. Also tonight, we'll be finding out why a top rock concert in the city has been scrapped. We'll be finding out what that means for music fans, who've bought tickets. And we'll be following the Lincoln Ladies Football team, who have been showing the men up on the pitch. And we'll be finding out why this glorious weather is positive news for peas, but bad news for barley. We'll be live in Bridlington tonight for Paul's forecast to find out how this weather is affecting the tourist trade on our East Coast. Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me then. April Well, its been an extraordinary month and now its at its end. And as I say Paul will be doing the forecast tonight live from Bridlington. The forecast so far? Well, April has been the hottest April ever since they started keeping records around three hundred and forty-eight years ago back in 1659. The Met Office has also revealed that the twelve months from May 2006 to April 2007 have been the warmest ever. So its been the hottest twelve month period thats just past. This weekend, thousands were out in the sunshine. It was a little bit windy in our part of the world, but in some parts temperatures reached around eighty-two degrees Fahrenheit. Thats just extraordinary. Its been the hottest April ever and therell be some more regional statistics on the programme tonight as Paul does the forecast from Bridlington. Weekend Whatever you had planned at the weekend, then I hope it went very well indeed and I hope you enjoyed it. And dont forget if youre involved in an event for charity thats coming up in the near future and youd like a little plug in the Letter then drop me a line. Send me the details. And if youve got a problem or a story that you think I could help with on Leave It To Levy, then let me know. Send me the details to the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Theatre Just a couple of things to mention on the theatre front. This weekend one of the biggest musicals ever, ten years since its been on in the West End, is Fame The Musical. Its on this week at Hull New Theatre. If youre going, then enjoy, although Im sure you will as its a great show. And eleven year old Shannen Egan of West Hull is preparing to play the lead role in a national tour of the musical Annie. She and another Hull girl, Brooke Wright, whos ten, will share the role after beating dozens of hopefuls. Playing the role of Annie at school wasnt enough for Shannen. Shes now preparing to star in the musical role in theatres across England and Ireland. She attends the Kelvin Hall School in Bricknell Avenue in West Hull. Shes no stranger to the stage. Its an amazing success story. Well done to both Shannen and Brooke, who are about to share the role of Annie in a huge tour, which is just about to start. Hugh Grant Yes, youve read the stories. Hugh Grant has allegedly thrown a can of baked beans at somebody. Well, Im sort of less interested in what Hugh did or didnt say to the paparazzi photographer when he hurled the beans. I was slightly more fascinated by the fact that one of the worlds most eligible bachelors is actually eating take away beans alone for his supper. So there you are. Hugh Grant is in the news again and possibly in a little trouble with the police yet again! And am I cynical to say that hes back in the news again just as theres something to plug! Not that Im cynical at all am I? Photographs If youve got a digital camera and you were out and about in this beautiful sunshine that weve been having this last week or so and have taken some particularly good pictures that you think we should show on the programme, then do send me one. Either send a hard copy in the post or in electronic form via an email. I, of course, will show it on the programme at some point. Were certainly looking for the more unusual snaps as well. Send them to me to the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Elections Local elections are this week of course. Therell be full coverage on BBC Radio Humberside and Radio Lincolnshire and on Look North. Its estimated in Hull that there will be one of the lowest turnouts in the country. They reckon that only about 25% of people will vote in the local elections. Anyway, there will be full coverage all this week, if youre interested in local politics. So keep across our local radio stations and Look North. Well, that's it from me for today. Enjoy your Monday afternoon and join me tonight on BBC One at half past six as usual.
