My thoughts are with the friends, family and colleagues of Phil Tetley, who tragically lost his life in a road traffic collision on the Straight Mile outside Ranby Prison.
I often travel on this stretch of road when going between Retford and Worksop, and I have seen the difficulties staff at Ranby Prison have crossing this busy road, with vehicles often travelling at upwards of 50mph.
I support this petition for a pedestrian crossing and I will be writing to the County Council to ask that action is taken sooner rather than later.
Early this morning I visited Worksop Sorting Office. The mood was cheery despite a huge 20% increase in parcel deliveries since last year. There were trollies full of parcels everywhere!
I was impressed by the work ethic, with posties working seven day weeks to get all the parcels and letters delivered before Christmas.
We all love to receive these in good shape and on time. Can I thank our local posties for their hard work and commitment

I recently visited the Hummingbird Collective in Retford. If you havenβt been before, it features a display of handmade pieces created by local artists across Bassetlaw.
So next time youβre in Retford, pop in and take a look, it might even be the perfect spot for some last-minute Christmas shopping. π
Yesterday, I was at Harworth Village Hall with BCSSS members who will now receive their pension uplift following the recent Budget.
I first learnt about the issues facing BCSSS members back in January, thanks to David Clark. From that moment, I made it a priority to act by holding the first public meetings in the country dedicated to BCSSS members. I never stopped campaigning, speaking to Ministers as much as I could right up to the 11th hour the day before the budget.
Throughout the past year, Iβve worked closely with campaigners to push this issue forward. Iβve got to know many members, including Ken Wright, a key representative of BCSSS members. Yesterday, he took me around the room so I could talk to everyone. He knew every person, their name, their role in the mine, and their story. It really showed how closely connected the group is.
I want to personally thank everyone for driving and helping BCSSS members secure the justice they deserve.
Seeing the members yesterday was a reminder that this uplift will genuinely change lives. The people in the video are just a few of the many, many constituents in Bassetlaw who will benefit.
