Hello its Peter here at the start of another week on the Levy Letter. I hope you had a good weekend even if it was wet at times. We continue our coverage of the regions flood recovery on the programme tonight with a special report on the aftermath of the Louth floods, where residents faced devastating water not once, but twice. Were there to see first hand what theyre going through.
Its a dangerous and vital job, and tonight we look at the front line of the flood rescue attempt - the helicopter rescue service at RAF Leconfield. We'll also be following the Liberal Democrat Leader Ming Campbell as he inspects flood damage in Hull. Weve had a lot of top politicians visiting our area recently to see the damage for themselves, of course what everyone wants to know is what good will it do us. Well have more tonight. We find out why a dropped cigarette tab cost an elderly woman £75 And I dont know if youve managed to watch this programme, its the latest reality TV hit, and this ones dance themed. We follow the Skegness girl through to the next round of the BBC's DanceX competition. Also on the programme tonight, well be finding out why a chorus of barbershop singers need more help. That's all coming up on Look North tonight on BBC One, its at half past six as always. I hope you can join me. If youre looking for a colourful event to attend over the next couple of weeks Im told the Sculcoates Fayre is taking place on Saturday August 4th 2007, 10 - 4pm at Surestart Fenchurch Centre, Tunis Community Centre & Sculcoates Park in Hull. Its Entertainment for all ages - stilt walkers, magicians, sports activites, balloon modelling, heritage displays, chair exercise for the elderly or infirm, craft stalls and much more. Its a free event, and if you want more information you can contact Lucy Jackson on 01482 331 422 for more details. Make it along if you can, it sounds like a lot of fun. Corrie Its incredible to think that shes played the same character for 34 years, but now actress Liz Dawn, who plays Vera Duckworth in Coronation Street, is leaving the soap due to health problems. Shes been part of a double act with Bill Tarmey in the show for such a long time, although apparently Bill is to remain in the soap, so Im not sure how theyre going to split up the husband and wife duo and make it believable. Sometimes soap characters are with us so long its quite an emotional event for the nation when they leave. According to the papers theyre currently working out stories for her departure, so if youre a Corrie fan its the end of an era. For the rest of us I suppose life goes on Dont forget if you miss the programme or if you come home late and want to catch up on the news, you can watch it on our Look North website, www.bbc.co.uk/looknorthhull.
