Car Insurance, Independent Cinemas and Mortgage Arrears

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We get the latest from Manchester Airport as passengers are rerouted to their destinations following yesterday’s power outage. Over the past five years, average mortgage payments have risen from more than six hundred pounds a month to over a thousand pounds. Debt charities warn that whilst the number of people in arrears isn’t rising, it may be masking the financial difficulties experiences by families. According to AutoTrader, the average price for a year of motoring for someone aged 17 to 20 is £7,600. We hear how this is impacting young drivers. Independent cinemas are seeing a rise in interest from young people, as more and more of them seek out arthouse and foreign-language films. This is providing a boost to an industry which has been slow to recover from the pandemic. And, how difficult is it to make your home green? A new survey shows why many of us are being put off making environmentally-friendly renovations. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: CHARLIE FILMER-COURT
