🅿️ We’ve all been there - rushing back to the car and being a few minutes late, or accidentally typing a wrong letter or number of your number plate at the machine. That shouldn’t mean a hefty parking fine landing on your doormat.
That’s why I’m pleased the Labour Government is bringing in new rules to give drivers a fairer deal and make it easier for you to challenge unfair private parking charges.
You'll now get at least five minutes to decide whether to park and 10 minutes to leave once your parking session ends. There will also be a right to have charges cancelled on appeal when something beyond your control has gone wrong.
These changes are about making sure drivers are treated fairly, alongside action to crack down on car dealers who tamper with mileage readings.
🏰There are still spaces available on my Parliament Trip on the 13th November.

What a purr-fect way to celebrate National Cat Day! 😍🐈⬛
Today the Chancellor announced that every penny of the surplus from the Mineworkers Pension Scheme and the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme will remain with the schemes and their members, rather than being divided with the Government.
The Chancellor also announced the abolition of the 'standstill' rule, ensuring that these pension schemes are protected and pensions will not fail.
I welcome these announcements and I also welcome the Chancellors acknowledgement that the job is not complete, and that the Government will continue to work with the MPS Pension Fund Trustees towards the goal of full transfer of the remaining Guarantor Fund.
I have just met with the Chancellor where he reconfirmed his commitment to do this, and he also promised to look at how quickly this can be done. He will keep me and my fellow MPs who also represent mineworker communities informed on this.
Today’s Budget: what it means for Bassetlaw 👇
This budget gives families and businesses breathing space today with fresh hope for the future.
Here’s what it means locally:
💷 Help with energy bills: 95% of households in Bassetlaw will get a £100 payment directly into their bank account this winter. This will be paid to all households in Council Tax bands A-D. The VAT cut on electricity bills will be extended until July 2027.
🏪 Backing our high streets: We are taking more businesses out of paying business rates by increasing Small Business Rates Relief thresholds for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses. The Government is also delivering a real terms business rates freeze for eligible retail hospitality and leisure properties in England, benefitting around 382 properties in Bassetlaw.
🍎 Breakfast clubs: 7 schools in Bassetlaw will now have funding for breakfast clubs, including: Hallcroft Infant and Nursery, Mattersey Primary, Misterton Primary and Nursery, St Patrick's Catholic Primary, Redlands Primary and Nursery, Sparken Hill Academy and Haggonfields Primary and Nursery.
