🌟 Small Business Saturday 🌟
I recently visited the Hummingbird Collective in Retford. If you haven’t been before, it features a display of handmade pieces created by local artists across Bassetlaw.
So next time you’re in Retford, pop in and take a look, it might even be the perfect spot for some last-minute Christmas shopping. 🎄
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, I’ve worked closely with campaigners to push this issue forward. I’ve 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.
Avian influenza (bird flu) has been confirmed in wild birds at Clumber Park.
The risk to people and dogs is very low, but we’re introducing some precautions to help protect wildlife.
Please help by:
☑️ Not feeding wildlife, particularly birds
☑️ Keeping dogs on leads in all areas of the park
☑️ Keeping dogs out of the water
☑️ Staying on marked paths
☑️ Not touching or moving sick or dead birds — report them to our team
You may see some temporary cordons or signage around the park while monitoring continues.
These precautions will only reduce the spread of the disease if all visitors follow the guidelines. With over 200 bird species living at Clumber, we are relying on you to help us keep them safe, and we thank you in advance for your understanding and support.
The park remains open and safe for visitors.

My thoughts are with Phil Tetley's family, work colleagues and friends. May his life be cherished and his memory never be forgotten.
