Our shared history and heritage is steeped in our links to Sherwood Forest that once extended into the heart of what is now Bassetlaw.
Major Oak has been symbolic of the age and history of Sherwood Forest and over the years I have taken many visitors to see it's splendour and to share our local pride in having such an ancient 1,200 year old tree so close to home.
It's a sad day to learn that Major Oak has died, and will never grow a leaf or shed an acorn again.

I was keen to attend this morning's Westminster Hall debate on tackling illegal activity, including organised crime, on our high streets and town centres. Many of you have told me this is a huge concern, especially in Worksop and Retford.
That is why I launched my recent Inquiry into Organised Crime in Bassetlaw. As part of this inquiry, I gathered evidence from Nottinghamshire Police, local authorities, business owners, and others working on the frontline of tackling crime.
My inquiry has resulted in a series of recommendations that set out the practical steps needed to crack down on criminal gangs exploiting our high streets.
This debate provided an important opportunity to demand real action to tackle this problem. We have so many amazing businesses in our town centres. But there are some who are not playing by the rules. I will continue pushing for action and I want the government to adopt the recommendations of my inquiry in full.

It's 60 years since England last won the World Cup.
Like everyone, I will be keeping everything crossed that we bring the Cup home this time.
๐I had a fantastic visit with the Year 5 and 6 pupils at St Patrickโs School in Bircotes on Monday, where we enjoyed a lively and thought-provoking Q&A session.
๐One of the most interesting parts of our discussion was the then proposed social media ban. Many of the pupils spoke about their support for it, highlighting concerns about the impact social media can have on young peopleโs mental health and the addictive nature of many of the platforms which they use. It was very encouraging to hear such thoughtful and mature perspectives from our next generation.
