🚌 BETTER BUSES, BETTER CONNECTIVITY🚌
Huge thank you to Claire Ward - East Midlands Mayor for coming to High Peak and jumping on the 61 bus with us to hear directly from local people about what we need for public transport.
As you'll know, Claire's big Transport consultation has been taking contributions from across our region so everyone can have their say on the future of our transport networks. It was good to have these conversations in person as well.
A big thank you to Gill Scott Cllr for Hayfield for joining us and to the Active and Sustainable Travel Group of Sustainable Hayfield for the excellent discussion.
Claire will now be taking away all the contributions you've made throughout this consultation period. To everyone who's filled in surveys, shared their experiences, or taken time out of their day to have their say - thank you. Every response matters.
But this doesn't end here. I will continue to fight to make sure High Peak gets its fair share of investment in public transport. Our communities deserve better connections, reliable services, and a transport system that actually works for the people who live here.
Still want to make your voice heard? You can get in touch with the Mayor directly at [email protected]
Together, we'll keep pushing for the transport infrastructure High Peak deserves! 💪 ... See MoreSee Less

GET YOUR FINAL SUBMISSIONS IN - FINAL CALL 📣
Claire Ward, our East Midlands Mayor, has launched the region’s biggest transport consultation in decades. This is our chance to make sure the High Peak is heard!
🌟 What matters most to you?
• 🚧 Tackling congestion – where are the worst pinch points?
• 🚌 Reliable buses and trains – what routes need improving?
• 👧 Giving young people independence – how do we make travel safer and more affordable?
• 🌍 Connecting communities – what’s missing between our towns and villages?
• 🛣️ Better roads – which areas need urgent repairs?
• 🚏 Safe, clean bus stops – what would make them more welcoming?
This consultation will shape a new 15-year transport plan for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire – covering everything from buses and local roads to how we link residents to jobs, education and healthcare. The survey closes TODAY so get your ideas in as your views will directly inform the Mayor’s final plan.
🤝 I’m encouraging every High Peak resident, business and community group to take part.
Transport affects our daily lives – school runs, commutes, hospital appointments, and staying connected. The more voices from across the High Peak, the stronger our case for better services.

Huge shout out to Gamesley Community Group 🌟
Great to see Gamesley Community Centre's feature on the BBC about the fundraising campaign for a new football pitch - had to share it because what Helen and the team are doing is genuinely brilliant.
The work they've already done at the community centre support from Labour led High Peak Borough Council and new community funding from our Labour East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward speaks for itself. It's become a real hub for people.
This is what grassroots community work looks like. Real people, real impact, no nonsense.
I wish them well in their fundraising efforts - I've put the link in the comments below if you want to support them 👏 ... See MoreSee Less
