Contribution

The TV drama “Heartbeat”, featuring a policeman based in 1960s “Aidensfield” delighted millions of viewers, so it is slightly ironic that, in 2026, residents in the real village, Goathland, cannot make emergency calls during power cuts, as their mobile phone mast has no battery. As EE has told me that it has no plans to install one, will the Leader of the House arrange a meeting between me, the relevant Minister and EE to help ensure that my citizens can make 999 calls that actually connect?
