As some of you may have seen, following the cabinet reshuffle, James Murray MP has now been made the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. I have met James on several occasions, one of which was when he paid a visit to Snibston Colliery just a few months ago where he met with BCSSS members, and I look forward to having further discussions with him about the BCSSS funds.
Following his appointment, the Labour Group of Coalfield MPs coordinated a letter to the Minister urging him to approve proposals for the future of the BCSSS and to meet with the group ahead of the Autumn Budget. You can find the letter below:

North West Leicestershire Defib Dash!
I’m really excited to launch the North West Leicestershire Defib Dash which will take place between 17th and 23rd November. This is a community audit of our local defib network. All you need to do is find your nearest publicly accessible defibrillator and ‘Dash’ to it (you could walk, run or cycle, just don’t use your car!), timing your journey.
Why? Every minute without CPR or Defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by 10% so it’s vital to raise awareness of where your nearest lifesaving defib is and where our deserts of coverage are. It will also allow us to ensure The Circuit, the national register of defibs, is accurate and up to date. (www.defibfinder.uk/)
You can register for a free campaign pack now ahead of the Defib Dash Week of Action and secure your place at our launch event on Saturday 15th November. (Details to follow to those who register).
Got questions? have a read through the FAQs online, or get in touch with my office.

🚷 Ashby Footpath O89 Update!🚶♀️
I am really pleased to say that we have now received confirmation from Leicestershire County Council that Footpath O89, which runs from the new Money Hill Car Park to the top of North Street, should be open for use from Tuesday 9th December.
A big thank you to the Town Council working group, made up of the Ashby Footpath Group, local councillors, and my office, who have been pushing to avoid any unnecessary extension of the closure. (Not all are pictured)
I have requested confirmation from LCC to determine whether the re-opening will be the upgraded path that has been discussed or the path as it is now. Once I have confirmation of this, I will of course, share this with the Town Council and local community.
