There are warnings about the dangers of playing in open water following
the death of 15-year-old Daniel McCullagh from Woodford whose body was found in the River Nene this week. Stuart talks to Mark Ainge from Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service and to Irven Forbes from the Environment Agency. Reporter Rebecca Dickson is at Stanwick Lakes to talk to ranger David Mackay.

Anna Randall, the Chair of the Polish Ex-Servicemen's Club in Wellingbrough, tells Stuart about the difficulty of conveying the water safety message to people from Eastern Europe.

The WRVS say a large number of elderly men who live alone are spending large amounts of their lives entirely on their own. Stuart talks to Professor Christina Victor from Brunel University, to Barry Graves, Chief Executive of Serve which provides support for older people in East Northamptonshire and to David McCullough, Chief Executive of WRVS.
