Around Clowne and Barlborough

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

Opposing Clowne Garden Village

I oppose the Clowne Garden Village development, as I feel it is not sustainable and will exacerbate, not help resolve, existing issues within Clowne. I will only support housing developments that provide the necessary infrastructure and contribute towards public services, so that they do not have a negative impact on existing communities. 

Clowne Town Centre Regeneration

A healthy high street is incredibly important to our local economy and community. I would love to see the regeneration of Clowne town centre by making public realm improvements and securing better pedestrian and cycle access to Mill Street.

Barlborough access to Clowne Greenway

Barlborough has poor pedestrian and cycle access to neighbouring villages. I want to provide new cycle/walk routes between Barlborough Village, the 'new' estate, the Links, and to the Clowne Greenway.

Treble Bob Roundabout / J30

The Treble Bob Roundabout in Barlborough continues to suffer from unacceptable levels of congestion, especially during peak times as workers from the Links Business Estate join the M1 at Junction 30. This will be exacerbated by new housing developments in Barlborough, Clowne, and Mastin Moor. I have been working with local stakeholders to secure the necessary funding to prevent standstills, improve the flow of traffic, and ultimately, boost regional connectivity.

A616/Creswell Road

Road safety on Creswell Road is a major concern within the local community. I will work with residents to help find a solution to speeding, traffic, and congestion on the A616.
