Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. I hope your days going well and youll be able to join me tonight on Look North at half past six as usual. Well have all the days news including a special report on the East Yorkshire residents who have suffered from flooding three times in three weeks, and now have sewage coming up through their floorboards!
We'll also meet campaigners fighting proposals to cut day and home care services in the East Riding. A thousand people could be affected, well have the latest on that. Weve got the story of why one young mum is furious at the Humber Bridge Board customer services. And not one for the squeamish - they're hairy, they're scary, and there's four hundred of them somewhere in Lincolnshire - we'll meet the business breeding baby Tarantulas! Well I wont be going to report on that one in person. And we'll be speaking to an expert from the British Geological Survey about what lessons we can learn from the floods as our part of the world continues to clean itself up and starts thinking to the future. Thats all on Look North tonight with me at half past six. Weve also got the forecast as usual, whatever will the weather throw at us next? Find out later on the programme. Pictures Please keep the photos coming in to show on the telly, the more unusual the better. Also dont forget if theres a story you think I should know about then drop me a line at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheese We have had no end of weather stories and now this one. The price of cheese is likely to soar by Christmas if the cost of milk increases as expected. Freak weather and the demand are being blamed. The cost of producing Cheddar in Britain has already increased by a staggering £350 a ton in the past three months. Incidentally in 1995 there were more than 28 thousand dairy farms in England, by 2006 there were fewer than 13,000. So there we are, we could be facing a cheese price hike at Christmas. Emails We had lots of emails and messages again yesterday on the subject of weekly bin collections, and whether we can do without. One of the responses was this from John, an ex home economics teacher. John says: I am not a 100% recycler but I do use the local recycling centre. We are a family of 3 adults now and can honestly say we rarely fill the bin. I usually take my recycling when I do my shopping, sometimes take a bag of plastic bottles etc when I am out on my bike. I am not sure how available the recycling centres are in all parts of N.Lincs etc but people need to make an effort. This, I am sure, is linked to families being unable to use fresh ingredients and cook wholesome food. Walks to the park via the recycling centre does not cost - I love being able to safely smash the bottles into the container! A good example for us to follow there from John. I must say recycling seems to be getting higher and higher on the agenda these days, and its something we are expected to do to help save the planet. Its definitely a change of lifestyle for some. Well thats about it from me today, join me tonight for Look North at six thirty as usual. Bye for now.
