ATM Deserts, Food Testing and Cheerleaders

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We look at why pay-to-use ATMs are on the rise in the most deprived areas of England - and ask is this just a poverty premium on the poor. Why cheerleading is taking off in the UK. We take a look at a BBC investigation which discovered fewer than half of those who had a full assessment for NHS long-term out of hospital care were granted it. A father, whose son was killed in a car crash in a "shared space," tells us why he thinks there needs to be better signs to show where a road starts and a pavement ends. As more and more car makers offer older car scrappage schemes, we ask if they are really worth it.... And why are food testing levels dropping - and should we be concerned? PRESENTER: MELANIE ABBOTT PRODUCER: PETE WILSON.
