On Thursday, David paid tribute to the community in Sandyford and Goldenhill following their response to the devastating fire that destroyed multiple homes in the local area.
Speaking in the Commons chamber on Thursday, 3rd September, Mr Williams said:
“Last month, a devastating wildfire ripped through Sandyford and Goldenhill in my constituency. Four homes were completely lost and 13 properties and gardens were badly damaged. Six of our heroic firefighters ended up in hospital having battled with exceptionally difficult conditions. Will the Leader of the House join me in paying tribute to our Staffordshire fire and rescue service, Goldenhill community centre, the Goldenhill working men’s club, the local residents association, local businesses and the volunteers who all rallied around to help their fellow residents?”
The Speaker of the House, Rt Hon Sir Alan Campbell, responded by saying:
“I am sure the whole House will join me in sending our most heartfelt thanks and best wishes to those six brave firefighters. I join my hon. Friend in paying tribute to Staffordshire fire and rescue service and all the community organisations that have come together to look out for one another. It really is the best of community in very challenging times.”

Stand with Sandyford drop-in at Goldenhill Working Men’s Club with MIND and Citizens Advice North Staffordshire.
Thursday 20th August 9:30 am – 12:00 noon
For the residents and families affected by the Sandyford fire on Friday 14 August 2026, the road ahead will be a challenging one.
Citizens Advice North Staffordshire and MIND will be at the Goldenhill Working Men’s Club this Thursday morning to offer help and support to anyone who needs it.
MIND offers support and trauma counselling to people who are struggling with their mental health. Citizens Advice North Staffordshire can support with general guidance on insurance matters and how to obtain quotations, advice on financial support to replace damaged goods, and crisis support in the form of food and shopping vouchers.
This will also be an opportunity for residents directly affected to access some of the donated items which have been dropped off at the club.
We hope other local services will also be present on the morning. Please share with people who might require additional support at this time.
Staffordshire Police have reported that Goldenhill Community Centre is full of donations regarding the fire damaged properties, and request for the time being people stop donating.
The plan at present is to sort out anyone who is affected with what they need, and then it is proposed to hold a Jumble sale to raise funds for repairs later.
Local community comes together to support the many families who have been forced to leave their properties for their own safety in Sandy Road, Sandyford.
Councillor Chandra Kanneganti, Members of Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association, Council Leader Jane Ashworth and Amanda Hewitt Representing David Williams M.P. have all visited the affected area as well as Goldenhill Community Centre where people have made donations to support those residents who need it.
It is believed the fire was caused by a portable BBQ, but this is yet to be confirmed.
Residents affected have been placed in temporary accommodation by Stoke on Trent City Council, and along with them, local residents, residents association, politicians, Staffordshire Police and Fire Service, along with numerous businesses in the area are offering much needed support to everyone who requires it.
