Today, I’ve written to Ashfield District Council following the Government’s announcement of £222,000 for the district through the Good Food Neighbourhoods Programme, calling for Hucknall to receive its fair share of this funding.

I recently wrote to Bloor Homes and Peveril Homes and the University of Leicester after I was made aware by constituents that archaeological works were due to take place at Whyburn Farm.

Important meeting of the National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce yesterday, continuing my work with the Secretary of State to bring about lasting change in maternity and neonatal care.

Michelle Welsh MP @michellewelshmp.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Suffering a bereavement or the loss of a pregnancy is one of the most painful experiences a family can go through. But for too long, people have had to fight for the opportunity to grieve. Labour’s changing things - with new legal rights to allow you to take the time you need to deal with loss.

🌳 Sherwood Forest is woven into the history and identity of Nottinghamshire - and it must have a future to match its past. Robin Hood is our legend, our history and our culture. But Sherwood is also a living, breathing home for nature and a place that means so much to our local communities.

Michelle Welsh MP @michellewelshmp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

As National Maternity and Neonatal Adviser, I was pleased to have a positive meeting at the Department of Health and Social Care with Dr Alison Wright, President of The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist and Dr Jasmine Leonce, National Maternity Speciality Advisor to NHS England.

No one should have to sleep on the streets. That’s why, today, this Labour government has announced a massive £442million package to ensure every rough sleeper is offered a route off the streets by Christmas.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a cruel and devastating disease. Many of you will know I lost my wonderful dad to it just under a year ago. My dad was everything to me, and I miss him every single day.

Good luck to everyone receiving their results today! 🎓 I really hope you get the results you’ve worked so hard for. But remember - your results do not define you, and whatever is in that envelope or on that screen today, there are always options and different routes to where you want to go.

💨 How many vape shops does one high street actually need? It’s a question people in Sherwood Forest ask me a lot. And it’s a fair one. Because for too long, local people have had no say on the shops that open in our town centres.

Michelle Welsh MP @michellewelshmp.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Too many people are struggling to get the mental health support they need. That’s why Labour has announced 159 new NHS mental health centres, including here in Nottinghamshire, so that people can get the support they need earlier and closer to home 👇 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
