📣 PETITION DELIVERED — BRING BACK THE THORESBY PIT WHEEL! ⚒️

Today I delivered the petition calling on Harworth Group plc to reinstate the historic pit wheel at the entrance to Thoresby Vale in Edwinstowe.

The pit wheel is more than a landmark. It represents the generations of miners, families and the local community whose hard work and sacrifice are part of our proud heritage here in Edwinstowe.

⚒️ Our mining heritage matters. Our local history matters.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and signed the petition.

**Wellow Dam – an update**

I’ve now contacted the Environment Agency regarding the very low water levels at Wellow Dam and my concerns for the welfare of the fish.

I’ve received an official reference number and have raised the possibility of **rescuing and relocating the fish if necessary**. Their welfare is the immediate priority, and I’ll continue to follow this up and keep the community updated. Thank you County Councillor James Gamble

Check out this video I grabbed last night in Sherwood Forest. 🐜✈️🐉
A massive nuptial flight, which is when thousands of winged red ants leave their nests all at once to mate.
But the local dragonflies absolutely knew the assignment! They were swarming the air, putting on an incredible aerial show and turning the flying ants into a giant buffet. 🍽️
Nature's perfect timing in action.

Here I am with some residents who came along to my latest Sherwood Forest working group meeting, this one held at the junction of Highfield Road and Forest Road in Clipstone.

These meetings are a great opportunity to hear directly from residents about local issues and to provide updates on what's happening in the area.

I chose this location because traffic calming measures will be installed on Forest Road over the next four weeks following seven pedestrian accidents with vehicles since 2019. Improving safety for everyone is a priority.

As always, it was great to chat with residents and listen to your views.

Made a start, prepping the ground around the Wellow Gateway sign. Lots more nettle roots still to clear. Having the strip mown in front and behind has been very helpful. Thank you. A welcome activity this evening after being sat in front of a laptop most of the day 👍 County Councillor James Gamble
