I’m proud to be supporting Pete and Mummy's Star with their campaign for better rights for mums facing cancer. 💜

I’ve worked closely with the charity in Parliament and have seen first-hand the difference they are making for families going through the most difficult circumstances.

I’ll keep working with Mummy’s Star to make sure mums and families in High Peak, and across the country, get the support they deserve.
Reform say that people barely use Glossop Tip – I did a survey during a visit, and it was clear that wasn’t true.

Help us stop them from closing our tip, sign our petition here:  https://www.jon4highpeak.com/help-me-save-glossop-tip/

Last week I raised in the House my concerns over the rising price of oil for High Peak residents. Thousands of households across our area, including in Hope Valley where I live, are reliant on heating oil and have seen their costs more than double since the outbreak of war in Iran.

It was therefore hugely welcome news last Monday that the Prime Minister announced a £53 million support package to help the most vulnerable households in rural communities with the price of heating oil.

Going forward, we must ensure that the sector is better regulated so households in High Peak get a fairer deal and are better protected from sudden price increases in future.

If you're worried about your bills or need extra support with the cost of living, please do get in touch with my office and we'll do all we can to help. You can contact us at jon.pearce.mp@parliament.uk or on 01298 918189.
And that’s a wrap! 🎉

Another High Peak Careers, Skills and Jobs Fair in the books. This is the third one I’ve held, and I’m delighted that each has been even bigger and better than the last.  

Thanks to every exhibitor and everyone who came and made it such a special day! I’ll be holding another Fair in Glossop later in year and I’m so excited to share more details soon - watch this space!
𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲! 🤩

I’m so pleased to be hosting my third Careers, Skills and Jobs Fair today here at the Crescent in Buxton. With companies like Tarmac, Google and Lomas here, as well as volunteer groups, colleges and other community organisations, there’s something for everyone. 

We’ll be here until 1pm, so please do come down to have a look and say hi!

This week in Parliament I hosted an event for @Mummy's Star, the only UK charity supporting mums diagnosed with cancer in and around pregnancy. 

The charity was founded by High Peak resident Pete Wallroth in honour of his wife Mair, who sadly died from cancer not long after their son was born.

I’m backing the Mummy's Star Save Our Bond campaign for a change in the law that would allow women who are diagnosed with cancer to defer or pause their maternity leave whilst they receive treatment. This change would protect the maternity leave of these mums for what it should be: caring for and bonding with their babies. 

You can find out more here: https://www.mummysstar.org/saveourbond 

I was proud to raise the issue in Parliament today.

Gamesley Coffee Morning ☕

It was great to catch up with residents from across Gamesley at our coffee morning in Twig Coffee ’s café last week.

The community centre has become a real hub for people across the estate, and I’m really proud that our Labour mayor Claire Ward - East Midlands Mayor  has provided nearly £200,000 in Community Development Funding to support the brilliant work of Gamesley Community Group  and The Bureau, Glossop .

Thanks to everyone who came along for a chat and a cuppa.

If you couldn’t make it but would like to raise an issue with me, please get in touch at jon.pearce.mp@parliament.uk
Thank you to everyone who joined my International Women’s Day event with Crossroads Derbyshire last week in Gamesley Community & Sports Centre 

Huge thanks to our speakers - Dr Fatima Eltinay (Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner), Dr Shirley Woods Gallagher and Johanne Lee - for sharing their insights on the challenges women and girls still face and the work being done to change that.

As a dad to girls, this issue means a lot to me. By listening and standing together, we can help build a safer future for women and girls. 💜

🐄Friendly reminder: Highland cattle are not giant, fluffy Labradors🐄

If it weighs half a tonne and has horns, it’s probably best admired from a distance.

The Hayfield Scarecrow Festival gets underway today!

This year’s theme, Following the Countryside Code, is a brilliant way to celebrate both our community spirit and the landscape we’re lucky to call home here in High Peak. 🌳

The festival is on until 25 April, with more than 45 scarecrows expected, it’s a fantastic way to get some fresh air and steps in. 🥾

If you get the chance, do go along and support this brilliant local event.

𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗨𝗟𝗘𝗭 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞!

Reform UK leader of Derbyshire County Council, Alan Graves, has proposed introducing charging for vehicles entering the Peak District using camera technology similar to ULEV zones.

Reform UK got elected to run Derbyshire County Council a year ago on a promise to cut taxes, instead they whacked up council tax by 4.9%, almost the maximum allowed.

They promised to cut waste, it turns out what they meant was closing Glossop’s waste and recycling centre, which would force people in Glossop to do an over an hour round trip to Buxton to dump their waste.

Now the cherry on the top is Reform UK Derbyshire County Council leader, Alan Graves, proposing a new tax on those people and all motorists in the Peak District for using their cars. What is their beef with us in High Peak?

By contrast, Labour are investing in sustainable transport to give people a genuine alternative to their car. Our £6 million “mini-Switzerland” project will deliver buses and trains working together on simple, reliable, clockwork timetables, with better connections, less waiting and joined-up tickets. That is the best way to tackle congestion and make visiting our amazing National Park sustainable - not taxing them for the pleasure.

Once again, it is clear that Reform are not on the side of working people. High Peak deserves better than policies that risk damaging our local economy and placing further pressure on hardworking families.

A57 Link Road Update 🚗

Please share this graphic to keep family, friends and neighbours informed about the roadworks on the A57.

I know disruptions are never ideal, but these works are essential to keep the bypass project on schedule. The sooner we complete this work, the sooner our community will see the benefits.

Please plan ahead, allow extra time for journeys, and thank you for your patience!

Passengers across High Peak should be aware of ongoing disruption to train services following damage to overhead wires near Manchester Piccadilly 🚆

While some services have resumed this morning, disruption is expecting to continue over the weekend as repairs are carried out.

I know this may be frustrating for those planning to travel by train this weekend. Please check before you set off and allow extra time for your journey.

Update 17/04 14:00: Services on the Glossop line are now running on time.
