The Bolsover constituency currently has no further or higher educational facilities - meaning children born in Bolsover are subject to a postcode lottery in terms of their life chances.
Working with our local schools to ensure every child in our area can reach their full potential. That means providing modern, fit-for-purpose facilities such as the £8.5 million for upgrades to Bramley Vale Primary School. And campaigning to restore post-16 education to Bolsover.
Our education services do a phenomenal job with our constituency but with no provision for post-16 and one of the highest computer illiteracy rates in the region more must be done to tackle both of these issues.
This page shows the campaigns I am involved in around Bolsover Town. 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.
Earlier this month, following my letter and video to Bolsover town's residents about the Labour District Council's betrayal of the town's £15 million investment, the District Councillor for Bolsover North and Shuttlewood, Cllr Ashley Taylor, wrote an open letter to me outlining his views.
