The Government are setting out plans to change the way homes are owned in England and Wales. 🏡
The draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill will:
✅Cap ground rents at £250 per year
✅Give flat owners more control over their buildings
✅End unfair rules that can put people’s homes at risk
Together, these changes will protect leaseholders and make home ownership simpler and fairer.
One of the things that I have learnt since coming into Parliament is how fundamentally broken the system is for those children who need additional support because they have additional educational or disability needs.
I knew it was bad, but not how bad and putting it right has been this governments commitment from day one.
I joined Parliament alongside MPs who have young children with specialist needs and they have taken a lead on getting this sorted. I can assure you that they have been vocal and very challenging, and I welcome my colleague, Jen Craft's comments on the day that this government has announced its reforms on SEND provision.
I am listening, I will be meeting parents and teachers to hear their views about the proposals because the government must get this right.

Once part of the Royal Forest of Sherwood, Clumber Park lies within the Bassetlaw constituency, and saw over 700,000 visitors in 2024.
Sherwood Forest Day sits as a reminder of this national environmental, cultural and historic asset that is right on our doorstep. #sherwoodforestday
⚽Earlier this month, I was pleased to meet Chris and Mick from Retford FC to talk about their plans for a new self-funded 3G (third generation, artificial grass pitch) at their football ground off Babworth Road.
🏃♂️ Better pitches mean better chances for children, young people and adults to stay active and enjoy sport close to home.
🥅 I am calling for Bassetlaw District Council to approve planning permission for this pitch. There is a shortage of full-size 3G pitches in Retford and I am keen to support grassroots football.
