Around Bolsover

Bolsover

This page shows the campaigns I am involved in around Bolsover Town. If you would like to know more details about any of these campaigns please do not hesitate to email me on [email protected]. 

Bolsover Town Centre Regeneration

Bolsover’s high street looks a bit unloved but has huge potential. I support regeneration of the town centre including public realm improvements, repurposing of abandoned buildings, greater accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists, and greater community space for events, to support our brilliant local shops to attract tourists.

Sixth Form for Bolsover

As MP for Bolsover I am concerned that we have no post-16 education in the entire constituency. It would be hugely beneficial if we can establish a Sixth Form at The Bolsover School so we can give local kids the best possible start in life.

Development of the Former Coalite Site

I am working with Derbyshire County Council, Bolsover District Council, D2N2, and the developers to help attract high paid, skilled and sustainable jobs to the constituency. Also working to lift the safeguarding in place along the former HS2 Phase 2b route to allow further development on the site. 

Oxcroft Colliery 

My grandad was a miner and I understand the significance of respecting our heritage as a former mining area. This is why I support a project on behalf of a constituent who would like to see a small memorial at the entrance to the old Oxcroft Colliery site. These brave men whose hardship and graft fuelled the nation should never be forgotten.

News

Dental Provision

Yesterday I asked the Under-Secretary of State for Health what the Government are doing to sort out the real difficulties people are facing in getting access to Dental treatment, or even just registering for a local NHS Dental practice, across our constituency. Mark Fletcher MP

Castle View Cricket Club Fun Day

I was honoured to be invited to Castle View Cricket Club's family fun day earlier today. You couldn't ask for a more idyllic setting for a Cricket pitch, surrounded by trees with the beautiful Bolsover Castle as it's backdrop.

Vale Care Home Open Day

I had a really lovely afternoon at the Vale Care Home's Summer Fayre this afternoon in Bolsover. It was great to meet Natalie and all the team, and I very much enjoyed chatting with many of the residents and visitors. There's a real family and community atmosphere.

Fred Kitchen Library Bench installed in Bolsover

I finally had chance to visit the newly installed Fred Kitchen Memorial Bench, just outside the library in Bolsover town centre. In May the Bolsover Civic Society erected stone seating outside Bolsover library commemorating local writer Fred Kitchen.

Palterton Flowerpot Festival 2022

If you're around Bolsover way this Jubilee weekend don't miss out on the fabulous Palterton flower pot festival - some amazing creations throughout the village and jubilee themed pot bunting at the school. Brilliant !!

Mark visits Bolsover Church of England Junior School

On Friday I was kindly welcomed at Bolsover Church of England Junior School to talk about being a Member of Parliament and how Government works.  I hope the children found it interesting - there were certainly a wide variety of questions asked.
