Cuckoo Lane in #Hatfield.
More fly tipping. I have written to @MyDoncaster seeking a barrier to be erected at the start of the unadopted part of the road.
I have asked them to inspect the adopted road as I believe it needs to be resurfaced. #Doncasterisgreat #1Down4ToGo
I would like to publicly praise the Police for their efforts in keeping us safe and cracking down on criminals and their gangs. I would like to thank you @syptweet on behalf of myself and all my constituents in #Doncasterisgreat

I will be speaking with the Chief Executive of @MyDoncaster to see how we can expedite these payments.
#doncasterisgreat. #1down4togo.
Great to speak as Chair @EnvironmentAPPG on how to build support for the energy transition, industrial decarbonisation and #NetZero at the Climate Innovation Forum 2022 today as part of @london_climate week @Climate_Action_
Very happy to share. We must bring these rates down as quickly as possible.
Opening up and talking about suicide can be hard but it can also save lives.
Doncaster Council is supporting the Zero Suicide Alliance by encouraging residents to attend special training sessions taking place in the city over the summer.
Online Safety Bill
The Committee has reached the end of the Bill which now embarks on the next level of scrutiny that every Bill goes through before becoming law.
It’s a long process but quick law can turn out to be bad law. It is important to get this right
#doncasterisgreat
We have an award winning airport in @DSA_Airport so I have a keen interest in anything to do with the air industry. I attended the event held by @Airbus in Parliament yesterday as you never know what you may find that could help Doncaster.

Brexit has been good for UK exporters.
New figures from the @ONS show British exports to the EU have reached their highest level on record since 1997.
UK exports to the EU reached £16.4 billion in April 2022.

Another early start. It’s going to be another busy day on the Online Safety bill. Went back to the hotel last night from Parliament at 10.30 pm. It’s all go!
#doncasterisgreat. #1down4togo.
Very pleased to share this. I am a proud member of #NetZero. We have to be Green for the sake of the generations to come. #netzeroday
https://twitter.com/cskidmoreuk/status/1541457060960796672?s=12
3 years ago today the UK signed #NetZero into law.
On #NetZeroDay it's fantastic to have so many @EnvironmentAPPG members come together as well as former Prime Minister @theresa_may to demonstrate their cross-party support for Net Zero and why it is so important for the UK https://twitter.com/EnvironmentAPPG/status/1541454730077020160
Been a struggle to get to Westminster today but I’m finally on board a train down. Stolen cable has closed down part of the east coast main line so I’m travelling from Sheffield. Zoom meetings while I go!
#doncasterisgreat. #1down4togo.
@NickFletcherMP @syptweet @MyDoncaster Sincere and heartfelt message here for everyone to take stock of. Thank you Nick 🙏. We, on our own are like a drop of water, but together we can make an ocean 💙
Pleased to see my article as Chair of @APPGMenBoys with Dr Edwards published in today’s @thetimes. We need a National Men’s Health Strategy. Why should men die early? Why is there a #GenderAgeGap. So many issues to resolve. We do need a Minister for Men.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/db69dee0-f56c-11ec-ad14-7b04276f4c1f?shareToken=0063d6e9f420cc23c8942e7349cb20cc
Only 19% of responses to the @DHSCgovuk mental health plan consultation have come from men and boys -- let's change that!
The DHSC has asked MBC to help ensure men and boys' voices are heard.
Please do make a submission and RT, deadline 11:45pm, July 7: https://tinyurl.com/mv9ymcuz
I would like to formally thank Inspector Mark Payling of @syptweet for his service and his help to me and my office since 2019. He is a fine role model to us all. Thank you. #Doncasterisgreat
He has shown tremendous dedication to neighbourhoods policing during his 30 years https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/news/crime/doncaster-police-inspector-retires-after-30-years-on-the-force-3745829
The only way we win this war on drugs is together, so to the @syptweet do all you can, to @MyDoncaster really help me with the youth clubs, to parents be the best you can be and to my constituents in #Doncasterisgreat if you can give a few hours a week, please do.1/2 🧵
Pothole Pro
I posted earlier about @MyDoncaster giving a trial to a machine called Pothole Pro which has been designed by @JCBmachines.
This is a link to a short 3 minute video showing what it can do

Junction with Stripe Road - #Tickhill Spital. Accident yesterday.
I am looking into this and will update you once I’ve been able to establish the full facts. I attach some photos of the junction which were taken for me this Sunday morning.
#doncasterisgreat. #1down4togo.
Victoria Avenue, #Hatfield. Motorcyclists with no helmets and wearing balaclavas to hide their faces are racing down this road and Cuckoo Lane. They get there through this ginnel. A gate would see an end to this noisy antisocial and illegal behaviour.
@kkbou5 @NickFletcherMP @APPGMenBoys Complete this - give your views here: https://consultations.dhsc.gov.uk/623ac367ea9bcd4c024d6df9
Presently @MyDoncaster are repairing potholes when they are reported to them but the repairs don’t last. The repairs are not being sealed and are temporary and so they don’t last long.
If you want to report a pothole then use this weblink: https://www.doncaster.gov.uk/doitonline/potholes
#1Down4ToGo
Out and about in #Hatfield today. Knocking on doors is so important to get to understand the issues that people have. I can’t solve global inflation but I can tackle local issues. If you ever need my help then email me. #Doncasterisgreat #1Down4ToGo
Another compelling reason why we at the @APPGMenBoys say the country needs a National Mens Health Strategy. 75% of all suicides are men.
I know the devastating impact of suicide after I lost my brother Tariq.
Today I spoke at @PAPYRUS_tweets on actions being taken - from refreshing the suicide prevention plan, better services for the bereaved & tech to understand the causes of suicide.

I’m really very sad to hear this news.
Harry has been part of all our lives for many years.
May he rest in peace.
Very very sad news for Yorkshire tonight. Harry, we will miss you dearly.

POTHOLES
Out and about in #Tickhill today. Pleased that the pothole on Sunderland Street which we reported to @MyDoncaster has now been mended.
If you’ve any potholes on your road that need repairing, let us know.
#doncasterisgreat. #1down4togo.
Back in #Edlington again.
Fantastic to meet up with Steve Heeley MD of @PolypipeTrade to discuss all things Edlington and my #RoleModels programme which shows our children that they can aim high and achieve.

Despite the efforts of militant union leaders, they cannot bring our country to a standstill.
That's why we're changing the law today, meaning any future strikes will cause less disruption and allow adaptable, flexible, fully skilled staff to continue working throughout. https://twitter.com/beisgovuk/status/1539850782111055872
We've introduced new legislation to make it easier for all sectors affected by strike action to use temporary agency workers.
Businesses & services will be able to use employment providers to help fill vital gaps & minimise the impact on public services.

My thanks to @BWPMountP for going to @trinitythorne this week to show students the career options and opportunities that exist in the hotel industry.
This is part of my Role Models project which I will be showing to @nadhimzahawi when he comes to @MyDoncaster later #1Down4ToGo
Three great measures which will strengthen our nation and make the streets of @MyDoncaster safer.
They have my full support and I shall be voting for them when placed before Parliament.
#doncasterisgreat #1down4togo
Our geographically small country has always been at the cutting edge. Thanks to 1) Moderna’s abilities and 2) this Government and @BorisJohnson ‘s foresight and courage in funding their Covid research, vaccines were created and lives saved.
✅ Deal done
🔬 Moderna's Research Centre means world-leading vaccines are researched and manufactured here in the UK - turning jabs into jobs.
Pleased to see my call to @MayorRos to open up our City Centre being featured in the @DonnyFreePress this week.
I hope we all agree new & different action needs to be taken. Because one thing is for sure whatever the initiative is at present, it sadly isn’t working.
#1down4togo
In Parliament today I raised the issue of the cost of heating within our Churches in #Tickhill,#Rossington,#Bawtry and #Thorne.
St Mary’s Church in Tickhill for example dates back to the 12thC & was obviously not then designed to be eco-friendly.
#doncasterisgreat. #1down4togo
Innovation, like science, requires collaboration.
If we continue to be blocked by the EU from Horizon, other international programs, like #Eureka, become even more key.
To Lisbon @ukinportugal for today’s #Eureka #GlobalInnovationSummit of 47 nations to deepen UK collaboration
Met with Richard Earley from @facebook to discuss safety on line. Lots of tips coming your way on how to keep safe. #Doncasterisgreat #1Down4ToGo
PROTECTING THE UNITED KINGDOM
I was pleased to be reassured today in Parliament by @BrandonLewis that this Government is taking the necessary steps to protect the Union and Northern Ireland.
We are so much stronger together.
#doncasterisgreat. #1down4togo.
This use of virtual reality shows the grim realities of the lifestyle of gang and drug culture.
I have met with Marcus. He has my full support in getting this shared across the UK. To that end I have met with @willquince at the @educationgovuk. Well done Marcus. #1Down4ToGo
Our last session of the day at South Yorkshire CYP Alliance conference and we are hearing from Marcus Isman-Egal from Doncaster Children’s Trust and use of virtual reality in child exploitation

The Sand House was a unique residence in #Doncasterisgreat. It was carved out of rock and this charity has been founded to preserve its memory.
The Sand House is now underneath the Tower blocks by Hyde Park cemetery.
It is a fascinating part of Doncaster’s history
For our #SmallCharityStory at the start of @SCWeek2022 we're shouting about how we're giving a #Legacy to #TheSandHouse by not only promoting this unique Victorian marvel but also by using it to #inspire #educational projects linked to it in & around the city of #Doncaster
Good to meet with the Health Minister @mariacaulfield and my namesake Mark Fletcher MP to support @great_together. As Jo Cox said in her maiden speech as MPs “We have far more in common than that which divides us”. #doncasterisgreat
👋 Thank you @mariacaulfield and @NickFletcherMP for your support! #MoreInCommon
Join the Great Get Together this weekend ⬇️

Delighted to RT this as Chair of @APPGMenBoys. Whilst it’s great to have a month dedicated to Men’s Health, we need to have a 24/7 approach which a Men’s National Health Strategy would bring.
This Men’s Health Month, we’ve teamed up with UK Men’s Sheds Association to launch ‘Shed by Shed’ - an initiative to empower men to be proactive about prostate health.
Very happy to share. I met with the @DECDoncaster College last week at @DoncasterRaces. Over 90% of its students go on to get immediate employment after completing their studies there. Very impressive. #Doncasterisgreat #1Down4ToGo
September will soon be here & if you're set to finish school this summer it's time to confirm your options for 2022/23.

At our Breakfast meeting today, we discussed the support for veterans that exists today in Doncaster. The feelings were very mixed, but not overwhelmingly positive. If you respect and support Veterans in Doncaster, can you please consider following us and retweeting this post.
Walked around the lake at Lakeside in Doncaster near the Eco-Power Stadium (fmrly Keepmoat). It was beautiful. A lady was handfeeding a swam lol she started laughing when she saw me watching.
Walked through the Yorkshire Wildlife Park 🖤 should definitely check it out.
It started as a farm with a few rescues, then began expanding and is an educational zoo/park that promotes rehabilitation and conservation. Look into them. It's amazing.
Yesterday was a long day. Parliament sat until 11 pm at night. It does give me the chance though to meet with other MPs and discuss issues such as the rail strike. This picture of @Bren4Bassetlaw and myself was taken last night on the terrace. #Doncasterisgreat #1Down4ToGo
