Coal:
As a member of the All Party Coalfield Communities Group
of MPs, lobbied Ministers to get a fair deal for coal,
and welcomed miners from Rossington Colliery to the House
of Commons during that campaign. The result has been decisive
Government action to give coal industry a level playing
field and a viable future.
Thorne & Hatfield Moors:
lobbied Environment Minister, Michael Meacher and English
Nature as part of the campaign to save the status of
Thorne & Hatfield Moors as Sites of Special Scientific
Interest.
Unadopted Roads: pressed Ministers over the blight facing
residents in private roads.
Transport: made representations
to Ministers for:
The new transport Interchange for Doncaster
The North Bridge Relief Road
More buses for our villages. The Government's rural
bus grant has meant that after 12 months of campaigning
Old Cantley has a direct 190 bus service to the Doncaster
Royal Infirmary and town centre and Tickhill is linked
by bus to Bawtry.
Animal Welfare:
supported the Wild Mammals (Hunting with Dogs) Bill.
Presented a petition to Parliament on behalf of 2,000
local residents, led by the RSPCA SY Branch, of which
I am a patron.
