Around 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.
