I’m standing in front of the building works for the new £8.5 million Health and Wellbeing Hub in Worksop, which will transform the long-vacant site on Newgate Street 🏗️
This major investment will improve local healthcare, accessibility and capacity for residents 🏥💙
The hub is due to be completed in early 2026 and will sit alongside the revamp of the existing Newgate Medical Practice next door.
It will include 24 consulting rooms, three treatment rooms, and additional space for support services, helping to deliver the care our community needs now and into the future 👩⚕️👨⚕️✨
❓ASK ME ANYTHING❓
Starting this week, I'd like to start an "ask me anything" video series. Keep the usual policy queries and casework requests to email, but pop your general questions in the comments below.💬
You can ask me absolutely anything about me, politics or my views. 🧐
👀Watch this space over the next few weeks, and I'll answer as many questions as I can in a short video👇
END OF MAJOR SCANDAL AT RAMPTON HOSPITAL
With local people working at Rampton Hospital, I am kept informed of issues that need government intervention.
A major scandal that I raised with government as soon as was elected, is that prisoners, some serving life terms for heinous crimes, can claim benefits whilst being treated for mental illness. Some have spent years or most of their sentence at Rampton, building up huge pots of money.
This is not used to fund the costs of their treatment or their incarceration. This is a private wealth fund, that has amounted to over hundreds of thousand pounds for some long termers to spend as they wish.
This is not fair for tax payers or for the victims and families of their crimes, and it has gone on for too long.
I welcome at last we have a Government Minister who has been prepared to do something about it.
Thank you Pat McFadden for putting an end to this scandal.

🚧 Potholes, Potholes, Potholes! 🚧
I hear from so many Bassetlaw residents who are fed up with damaged roads. I use these roads just like everyone else, and the condition is simply not good enough.
Mayor Claire has committed £8.3 million to tackle potholes, yet Reform ran Nottinghamshire County Council has chosen to spend £75,000 on flags. Whilst I love our Union Flag, roads should be the priority.
