Hi there, and welcome to the start of another week on Look North and Mondays Levy Letter. Im back in the studio again after Fridays live programme from Skegness. Tonight on the programme, well be looking again at the devastating fire that destroyed a huge entertainment complex in the town. Well be finding out how holidaymakers are coping with the town in turmoil and asking how businesses are planning on regenerating and rebuilding.
Also tonight, well be reporting from court as an undercover BBC Look North investigation results in twelve months in jail for the man, who sold illegal medicines for animals in our region. More on that exclusive investigation tonight on the programme. Plus tonight, we'll be meeting one family from Immingham, who are undergoing an anxious week this week. They are preparing their prize winning pigeon for a major British pigeon race. We'll be finding out what it takes to get to the top! And this bank holiday weekend will see a major rock music festival come to Yorkshire. We'll be meeting the local talent taking part from our region, which includes The Talks from Hull and The Idlers from Lincoln. Well be meeting the bands tonight, who are set to get their big break this weekend. And Football Focus' Damian Johnson will be with us again to give a rundown of all the weekend's sports results. Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me then. For all things shopping and retail, then this will be of interest! Today marks just one more month to go before the huge £200million St Stephens development opens in Hull. Its just incredible how fast the huge buildings have gone up. Driving down Ferensway, the scene seems to change every day and certainly many people in Hull seem very excited about this new development around the train station. So just one month to go before this huge shopping centre opens! I often mention in the Levy Letter stories about healthy eating and especially in relation to the nuts and seeds I try to eat regularly! Well, its not just humans, who are having to calorie count apparently. Obesity is a growing health problem for our pampered pets! Half of the dogs and cats in the UK are now overweight according to the RSPCA. And its not just a cosmetic issue, overweight animals can have a multitude of problems ranging from straining of the joints, arthritis, diabetes, liver and heart disease. So cats and dogs are advised to watch their figures and owners are being told off for being too generous with the treats! And I just read a little article in a paper about weird insurance claims people have made, so I thought Id share them with you. These included a father making a claim for his daughters bad haircut. And one guy claimed for the loss of a packet of mints and a newspaper. And one final one here, holidaymakers claimed for harassment from monkeys! Actually I think this one is quite a common one. Im not sure where it is, but there are a number of very exotic holiday destinations where the local monkeys are very friendly. However, in this insurance case, the tourists claimed one of the monkeys ran off with their camera! Well, that's it from me for now.
