Ed Miliband Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero and MP for Doncaster North.
I visited the Shimmer Estate in Mexborough recently following constituents raising concerns with me about the general maintenance and upkeep of the estate.
I have now made enquiries to City of Doncaster Council, the Department for Transport and two housing associations who are responsible for different areas on the estate. I have asked for the railings at the front of the estate to be repaired and for overgrown areas to be tidied. I will keep residents updated on progress with these matters.
I know that safeguarding of the estate remains a significant concern for many residents and I understand the anxiety and uncertainty that this is causing. I am continuing to make enquiries with colleagues at the Department for Transport regarding the lifting of safeguarding and I will keep residents updated when I receive any information on this.
