Good luck to everyone receiving their GCSE results today! 🎉
Since being elected as the MP for Bassetlaw last year, I have been working in partnership with the Environment Agency, Bassetlaw District Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, the Internal Drainage Board, and the River Idle Flood Action Group (RIFAG) to tackle the risk of flooding in Retford.
We have established a 'Bassetlaw Flood Partnership' strategic group, which is working together to tackle the risk of flooding in this area.
I am meeting with Ministers regularly to make the case for more funding and investment for further flood defences in Retford. Our area has been overlooked for too long due to the way in which the Environment Agency decides the allocation of funds for areas like ours.
The Bassetlaw Flood Partnership is launching a Flood Warden Scheme, and is looking for residents in Retford who would be interested in becoming a volunteer Flood Warden for their area.
If you or a member of your community is interested in volunteering to become a Flood Warden in Retford, please contact my office by email ([email protected]) or telephone (01777 322128)
Today marks 80 years since VJ Day 🇬🇧
We honour the courage and sacrifice of all who served in the Far East.
Their legacy will live on forever.
I wrote to residents in January regarding the children's play park planned for the site adjacent to the new Whipman Wood Primary School on Harlequin Drive.
Gateford is home to many families with children and there is a complete lack of play facilities.
I have since met with Barratt Homes on multiple occasions to push this forward. I am very pleased that Bassetlaw District Council now have the relevant paperwork to take ownership of the land.
I will now be pushing the District Council to deliver the play park as soon as possible.
