πBassetlaw is getting its share of a new Β£18 million fund to make sure kids have somewhere safe to play.

π I am thrilled to announce that Worksop has been successful in it's bid for Β£20 million of investment thanks to this Labour Government's 'Pride in Place' Initiative. π
πFor too long, Worksop has been left behind. I promised to improve Worksop, and this funding is our chance to do just that, breathing new life back into a place we were once so proud of.
π¨βπ¨βπ§βπ¦Local people have already told us how this money should be spent, and this is about putting their ideas into action. I am delighted that the Government has given us the go ahead and this funding will be the trigger to unlock new investment, opportunities and activities that will make the town centre a safe, enjoyable and welcoming place to be.
π Fantastic news to hear that our very own Welbeck Farm Shop has been picked as a finalist in the 2026 Countryside Alliance Awards.
πΏ These awards, called the βRural Oscarsβ, celebrate the best of countryside life. They recognise local businesses that care about their community, history, and the people they serve.
π³οΈ Voting opened on 2nd March and will close on Monday 6th April. Please take a moment to support Welbeck Farm Shop by voting here: www.research.net/r/CAA26MPolitical

π¨ I had a lovely time today with other art lovers visiting βThe Worldβs Mine Oysterβ at the Portland Collection in Welbeck.
π
The exhibition opens tomorrow and runs until 8 April 2029. It tells the story of how the Cavendish family explored and used nature, both at home and around the world.
πΌοΈ My favourite piece was βThe View of Antwerpβ, a huge painting of the city. Itβs about 3 metres wide and full of tiny hidden details to spot.
π There were also many portraits of important local people from history, including Bess of Hardwick, Margaret Cavendish, and the Duchess of Portland.
