Around Shirebrook

  • Tweet
Map of Shirebrook

This page shows the campaigns I am engaged in around Shirebrook, Pleasley, and Glapwell. If you would like to know more details about any of these campaigns please do not hesitate to email me on mark.fletcher.mp@parliament.uk. 

Robin Hood Line Extension

I am working with local MPs Ben Bradley (Mansfield) and Mark Spencer (Sherwood) to create a new rail route from Shirebrook to Ollerton via Warsop and Edwinstowe. This will dramatically improve regional connectivity in Shirebrook and help us make the most of being part of the East Midlands’ growing economy offering greater accessibility for tourists.

Shirebrook Town Centre Regeneration

Shirebrook Market Square is one of the largest in the UK and has so much potential. I am working with Bolsover District Council to secure funding for the regeneration of the town centre including public realm improvements, greater accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists, and greater community space for events.

Shirebrook Link Road

Shirebrook suffers due to poor East-West infrastructure. The creation of a purpose-built link road from J29 of the M1 to Shirebrook would improve regional connectivity, encourage business, and relieve pressure on the A617 through Glapwell, Doe Lea, and Bramley Vale.

Park School Federation

During my visit to the school, I was taught the school’s ethos of P.R.I.D.E , it is equally important to me that these children can be proud of their school within the local community. Therefore, I am working with the school to secure necessary funding for maintenance and repair works.

Pleasley Vale Mills

I support Bolsover District Council’s exciting project to regenerate the mills into a mix of housing, a community hub, and leisure facilities. This is a brilliant ambitious project which can serve as a model for future growth in the area.

Youth Centre for Shirebrook 

I often hear from young residents about the lack of activities or things to do in Shirebrook and recent incidents of anti-social behaviour have shown that we need to provide opportunities for young people to channel their energy into something productive. This is why I am working with residents and local groups to provide a purpose-built youth centre for the young people of Shirebrook.

Shirebrook Cricket Club 

I have been working with the Chairman of Shirebrook Cricket Club to support their bid for funding from Sports England and the National Lottery to re-vamp the pavilion and changing rooms.
