It is that time of year when we reflect on the past 12 months to review some of the news stories in your Chad for 2024.

In 2024, we reported on several stories from across the community, including devastating fires, events and exhibitions, fundraising efforts and campaigns.

We also covered significant political changes in the region, such as the historic election of an East Midlands Mayor in May and the appointment of a new MP for Mansfield in July.

Additionally, we followed Mansfield Town FC after their promotion to League One.

Here is your 2024 in review…

The payment is part of the government's efforts to address a historic injustice, with £1.5 billion transferred to the pension scheme in October. Former mineworkers received these funds directly in November, ensuring that those who contributed to the country's prosperity for decades receive the fair compensation they deserve for their labour. Campaigners and the National Union of Mineworkers advocated for this pension increase, with the injustice outlined in the Labour Party's 2024 manifesto. The uplift represents an average 32 per cent rise to the annual pensions of nearly 112,000 former mineworkers and their dependents across the UK – an average increase of £29 per week for each member.
