I immediately wrote to the Chief Executive of CISWO – who oversee the relevant charity. Remarkably, it emerged that they were unaware.

They have reassured me that the sports ground remains secure and looked after for the benefit of Maltby and the community.

However, we know that the ground needs investment urgently. And the notion that we can afford for money raised at the sports ground to be transferred out of Maltby is for the birds.

I’m genuinely shocked and angry about what has happened.

Today, I’ve written to the Sports Minister and the Charity Commission – and will be raising this issue in Parliament.

We don’t, at this stage, know how much money has been transferred and the full details – but I’m determined to get to the truth and find out what on earth has been happening.

Whilst I will be looking into this matter my main focus at this time is assisting the effort to find funds to do up the pavilion at the ground – securing its long term future. I’m really pleased to hear Maltby Town Council and CISWO are making progress in this area.

Many constituents have been in touch with me about the absence of safe crossing points for school children, as well as pedestrians, within the vicinity of Wales High School (B6059) and Ryton Road, North Anston around the Bulkhead Bus Stop.

I have written to Sharon Kemp, Chief Executive of Rotherham Council, following two reported incidents of pupils at Wales High School being struck by vehicles. Thankfully both pupils are ok, however one did sustain injuries.

I am pressing the council to ensure there are adequate safety measures in both of these areas, to guarantee the safety of school children. This is an urgent matter given mornings and nights are beginning to darken.

I will provide an update once I receive a response.

If you need help with a road safety issue or another matter, please do get in touch by emailing jake.richards.mp@parliament.uk

I have written to the council to seek answers about whether they are continuing to monitor the Quarry’s activities and to find out more information about the current regulations the Quarry is following to ensure that its activities remain compliant.
