Gambling Addiction

I've been to meet recovering gambling addict Stacey Goodwin in Chesterfield to hear about her story of how betting ravaged her life. Stacey has come out the other side and is now helping others with gambling addiction.

Tapton Terrace Flood Anniversary Live

I reported live from a flood-prone street in Chesterfield where residents say they've been 'forgotten' by authorities. It's two years since their neighbour Maureen Gilbert drowned in her home when Tapton Terrace was flooded during Storm Babet. I first reported from the street a year ago and people living there say lives are still at risk and no action has been taken to stop it happening again.

Heat Pumps

A Sheffield company that was given millions of pounds of Government grants to install air source heat pumps has gone into administration and has left several customers with faulty heating. Greener Living Ltd went bust in March last year. The company was given more than four million pounds as part of Government efforts to encourage homeowners to replace existing fossil fuel heating with more efficient, low carbon systems. Chesterfield couple Geoffrey and Julie Cox say they’ve been left paying-off thousands of pounds in debt after having their faulty heating system fitted.

Post Office Scandal

I covered the latest in the Horizon Post Office Scandal and used my mobile journalism kit to interview Harjinder Butoy, the former postmaster who was thrown in jail for a crime he did not commit. I had to work quickly to film the material I needed and then edit it in time for it to be on BBC Look North that evening.

Barrow Hill Roundhouse live

I was lucky enough to be sent to Barrow Hill Roundhouse in Chesterfield to report live on a spectacular new video projection art work with live brass band showing 150 years of railway heritage! As you can see I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Post Office Inquiry

I watched the start of a Public Inquiry this week into one of Britain's biggest miscarriages of justice with one of its victims. Hundreds of post office workers were prosecuted for stealing money but the case relied on flawed computer evidence. Some workers were sent to prison, like Harjinder Butoy from Chesterfield who served 18 months for a crime he didn't commit. I felt privileged to watch proceedings from Harjinder's home with him and his family.

Hospice Funding

I've been filming at a hospice that provides end-of-life care for people in North Derbyshire that is in a perilous financial position. Bosses at Ashgate Hospice Care in Chesterfield, which provides specialist end-of-life care, say they say they'll have to drastically cut the vital service they provide unless the local NHS Clinical Commissioning Group gives them an extra million pounds.
