Really concerning to see the moorland fire near Glossop and the scale of the damage caused across our countryside.

A huge thank you to Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, local fire crews, the Glossop Mountain Rescue Team and all the partners who worked tirelessly to tackle the blaze in very challenging conditions. Incidents like this show the very best of our emergency services and volunteers.

With hotter, drier conditions becoming more common, the risk of moorland fires is only increasing. We need to do more to prevent these incidents and make sure our services are properly resourced to respond when they happen.

It’s also a timely reminder of my campaign on the use and sale of disposal BBQ - something as simple as a discarded barbecue or glass can spark fires like this. Please take care when enjoying our countryside and help protect it for everyone. You can still sign my petition to stop retailers selling disposal BBQs here: www.jon4highpeak.com/petition-stop-selling-disposable-bbqs/ ... See MoreSee Less

Great news! Really good to work alongside our hardworking local Labour councillor, Cllr Rob Baker for Tintwistle Ward, to help get these works completed as quickly as possible. Working on restoring the bus service ASAP now.ℹ️ Gas Works Waterside

✅ The road is now open, all barriers and road closure signs have gone

✅ Works completed well ahead of schedule - myself and Jon Pearce MP for High Peak pressed Cadent hard to get on with the works and keep the closure as short as possible.

⚠️ Trying to get the 237 bus reinstated ASAP.
➡️ I have emailed TFGM
➡️ I've asked our MP and County Cllr to do the same

⚠️ I have no direct line to TFGM but doing all I can and will update when I know what's happening with the 237.

Thanks for your patience 👍 ... See MoreSee Less

So delighted to see Naomi, Phil and the whole team at Edale Station Friends recently receive this award at the Community Rail Awards! 🎉

They thoroughly deserve this recognition for all their hard work making our whole community proud 👏Huge congratulations to Edale Station Friends for scooping an award at the Community Rail Awards evening! They won in the ‘It’s Your Station’ category, a well-deserved celebration of the hard work they have put into making Edale station such a wonderful place to travel to and from! Here are Phil and Naomi with their award.

Here is a little more information about their work:

It’s Your Station - Sprucing up Edale Station

Edale Station Friends (ESF), a group of 8 people in a village of 287, have been making the station a cheery, interesting and informative environment for visitors and residents of Edale. Edale station sits in a magnificent setting. It deserves to be taken care of. Edale does not have sufficient car parking for the increasing number of people who want to walk the hills in this majestic landscape, so they are encouraged to use the train. The ESF plan included replacing the chain-link fence with wooden fencing and, to celebrate Railway 200, ESF have been re-painting the station furniture in the heritage Midland Red and Cream, improving the planting and notice boards. To do this, ESF had to get permission from Network Rail, Northern Rail, the Station Manager and ISS. This was easier said than done, requiring face to face meetings and email correspondence. ESF has received many compliments on their work, inspiring other nearby stations and with people saying that the station is now a pleasure for visitors as they travel and villagers feel proud of their station. Two train guards have even told ESF that it’s their favourite station!
