Hello its Peter here and welcome to the new style and more concise Levy Letter, hope your weekend was good. Its such a shame that so many things planned for the weekend had to be cancelled including of course the Lord Mayors parade, the first time its ever been cancelled. Anyway, lets hope next weekend is better, its the Humber half marathon of course, and Paul and I will be there to start the race off, but not to run in it Well be there from 9.15, do pop down to the bridge if you can and say hello.
On Look North tonight well have all the top stories and news from our region, starting with what were some of the worst floods that we'd seen for many decades. Today people are still struggling to get back to normal after Friday's freak weather. We'll be finding out why the rain caused so many problems and talk to those who are still affected. Lincolnshire has managed to bring down its teenage pregnancy rate by more than 30 per cent and health managers claim the secret of their success is more sex education in schools. We'll have a special report tonight speaking to teenage mums and visiting one of the county's schools. On BBC One tonight there's a special programme where the apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry goes back to her home city of Hull to look at the efforts that are being made to regenerate it. But do buildings really change a city or is it all down to the people who live there? That sounds fascinating, doesnt it? I think thatll be a really interesting programme for people in our region, not just those who live in Hull. And we'll also be trying to solve a medieval mystery as work finishes to reopen Julian's Bower... an ancient turf maze in North Lincolnshire. Thats all coming up tonight, and well also have the detailed weather forecast as well, its been a bit unpredictable lately, but hopefully well have some nicer weather on the way. Well speaking of the weather, I hope youve all survived the recent flooding intact. We had amazing pictures of some of the damage and roads flooded last week, if youve got any stories about the floods then send them in to me at the usual address, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and of course if you have a story or something we should know about on any subject, or an interesting picture you think we can show on the programme then drop me an e mail as well. We had a lot of emails and messages in last week after our story about rogue traders, thank you very much for all of those, and we got a lot of useful information we might follow up. Dont forget, lots of our stories and programme ideas come from viewers sending them in, and we always appreciate your input. Beckham You dont have to like or be interested in football to know who David Beckham is. Well just a quick mention here after Im told he played his last game for Real Madrid last night before moving to the bright lights of Los Angeles to play football in America, would you believe. Its amazing how famous hes become, and it looks like he might become an even bigger celebrity now. I think despite all the things in the papers about him, lots of people in this country will wish him good luck as he leaves Europe, and he managed to win a trophy last night in his last game. So well done to one of Englands biggest celebrities, and soon to be an American one too from the looks of things. Well thats about it from me today, I wont be presenting the lunch time bulletin today on Look North, but I will be presenting the evening programme as usual and the late programme at 10.30 tonight, so make sure you stay with us for that and join me later. Bye for now.
