It was great last week to visit Mansfield recycling centre which takes our blue bin waste from Rushcliffe. I spoke to the team there about the Government’s simpler recycling scheme, as well as the logistics around moving towards kerbside glass recycling.
Great to get out and about to a local farm yesterday to discuss the wider agricultural sector, and see first hand, the opportunities and challenges that businesses in the sector are experiencing.
Thank you to James and Michael for having me and showing me about.
It's great to see the Notts Gymnastics Academy firing on all cylinders again after last autumn's floods. The flooded pits have been re-tanked and are now filled with foam again. New drainage has also been installed around the building.
Out speaking to residents in Barton in Fabis yesterday where residents are worried about a gravel quarry being developed next to the village. I’ve been working with them for years to stop this and so far we’ve managed it but there’s still plans to move forward.
Cheese ! It was great to be able to visit Cropwell Bishop Creamery today, along with Farming Minister, Mark Spencer, and Director General at Provision Trade Federation, Rod Addy.
Last week, I spoke at a public meeting in Barton-in-Fabis about the newest planning application for a proposed gravel extraction site next to the village.
This is on the same site as the last application we successfully opposed in 2021.
Earlier this week, I went to the Mental Health Foundation’s event in Parliament to see their “building blocks” for good mental health. These include connection, good jobs and accessible exercise.
