British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS) Letter to James Murray MP
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.

An Early Christmas present for Coalville! 🎁
Earlier this month I was pleased to learn that Network Rail have withdrawn their objections to the reopening of Scotlands Footpath (N111) in Coalville after interventions from my team, working with Amy Shepherd and the Open Spaces Society 🥾.
Pending a meeting between Leicestershire County Council and Network Rail pencilled-in for early 2026, we should see the footpath reopen for use later in the year; I will continue to update you as I receive more information.

Great to see that BCSSS members will be getting their first increased payments today, just in time for Christmas!!Following continued action over the past 12 months on the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme, over 750 former mineworkers in North West Leicestershire will now see their pensions rise by 40%, thanks to the Labour Government’s transfer of the £2.3bn investment reserve back to scheme members.
That’s an average of £100 per week back into the pockets of those who once powered our nation.
I am so pleased that we have secured this outcome during the budget. This change will make a real difference to the lives of local people and their families. A big thank you must go to the campaigners, constituents and coalfield colleagues who have been engaged in the lobbying efforts to right this injustice.
From Coalville to Measham, Moira, and beyond, our industrial heritage has shaped the local landscape. For generations, our former miners powered this country, and it’s only right that we recognise their sacrifices.
We’re not just providing financial support; we’re also improving healthcare for respiratory illnesses through our Men’s Health Strategy. It recognises the additional care often needed in our former industrial communities, where health inequalities are higher.
I’m proud of our local industrial heritage. It touches nearly every part of North West Leicestershire, and I’m proud that our Labour Government is delivering the support our former mineworkers deserve.
