Last updated 16th Feb 2024
A Newark mum whose daughter died in a Lincolnshire holiday park fire is hoping the Government will get behind her campaign to make smoke alarms mandatory in all caravans.
We're travelling down to London with Natasha Broadley today, as she meets with her MP Robert Jenrick and Fire Minister Chris Philp in a bid to overhaul safety regulations.
A blaze ripped through the caravan Natasha was staying in with her four children while on holiday in Ingoldmells back in 2021, killing her 2 year old little girl Louisiana.
She tells us she'll never give up fighting for change.
You just don't think you're going to be saving your family when you come out of the shower
"There are people sat in chalets right now, people on holidays right now not knowing a smoke alarm might not be working."
"I feel like going back to Skegness and knocking on every caravan door with a battery."
"But I'm not ready for Skegness yet."
"Me and my daughter - we got in the shower and you just don't think you're going to be saving your family when you come out of the shower."
"I still didn't think there was a fire when my daughter said she smelt smoke."
You have to check your family's safety as well
"Your brain doesn't click into fires - you just don't think."
"When I came out the bathroom - my gosh the fire was there."
"I look at these holiday sites now very differently."
"I feel like they're - you're taking your own risk site - that's what I want to call them."
"You really think you're booking a caravan to go away and you have to check all your safety."
"While you're there you have to check your family's safe as well."
And we'll be following her journey today as she heads to Parliament.
