Local MP wants to hear your priorities for Silkstone and Silkstone Common

Marie Tidball MP, Member of Parliament for Penistone and Stocksbridge, will soon hold a ‘Pride in Silkstone & Silkstone Common’ meeting to hear from constituents across Silkstone and Silkstone Common, about their priorities for the area.

Residents of these villages will be able to share what changes they would like to see, to improve their local areas, directly with Marie. She is particularly interested to focus on providing good local NHS services; well connected public transport; good, SEND-inclusive education; enabling our high streets to thrive; and good quality affordable housing.

The meeting will be taking place locally on Thursday 29th January, 6pm-8pm. Constituents can RSVP for the meeting by filling in the form at www.marietidball.com/campaigns/pride-in-place before 23:59 on Monday 26th January.

Following the meeting, Marie will use all the feedback collected to develop community asks, which she will champion with local and national government, to deliver on your priorities for your local area.

Marie Tidball MP said:

“As your MP, I represent the same communities I grew up in, the first MP for the area in one hundred years to have done so.

This place is special to me – it’s where my roots are, where my family live and where we are bringing up our daughter.

I’m focussing on the things that ensure that people growing up and growing old here can fulfil their potential.

Please do share this invite with your neighbours, family and friends – I want to hear from as many residents across Silkstone and Silkstone Common as I can.”

Over the next year, Marie will be visiting communities across the constituency to hear from constituents about what their priorities are for their local area, and how she can work to increase pride in our towns and villages. The meeting in Silkstone & Silkstone Common will be the first in this series of meetings.
