Great to visit New Mills Primary School and see first-hand their trailblazing free breakfast club.
New Mills was one of the first schools in the country to pilot the roll out of the Government’s free breakfast clubs.
I went last year when they first launched and it was great to be back to see the massive success they have made of it.
More than 80 children are now benefitting each morning — whether it’s spending time with friends, enjoying some quiet reading, or even taking part in a yoga session. It’s clear the scheme is making a real difference.
Starting the day with a good meal and ready to learn is so important for every child.
A big thank you to Head Teacher Carol Taylor for the warm welcome and for showing me around such a fantastic school. ... See MoreSee Less

I’ve now received a detailed response from Cadent’s CEO regarding the upcoming roadworks on Waterside in Hadfield and I want to update residents on what’s planned, including the impact on local bus services and what’s being done to reduce disruption.
These works are being carried out because the existing gas main under Waterside is nearing the end of its life. It will be replaced with modern plastic pipework, designed to last over 80 years, helping to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply for the long term.
I specifically asked whether the work could be done under temporary traffic lights rather than a full road closure. Cadent has confirmed that, due to the depth of the excavation and the width of the road, it is not possible to carry out the work safely without closing the road entirely.
🚍 Impact on bus services
During the closure, the 219 and 237 Bee Network services will be diverted.
• From Mottram Moor, buses will use Woolley Lane and Woolley Bridge Road before rejoining their usual route at Station Road in Hadfield
• The following roads will not be served during this period:
– Market Street
– Manchester Road
– New Road
– Waterside
Following my intervention, Cadent has committed to a number of mitigation measures:
• Increasing the number of workers on site, including weekend working, to complete the project as quickly as possible
• Keeping the road closure under constant review, with the option to reopen earlier or move to traffic lights if it becomes safe to do so
• Improving communication with residents, businesses, and transport providers through more targeted updates
They have also confirmed they will continue working closely with the local Highway Authority to minimise disruption as much as possible.
I know how disruptive this will be - particularly for those relying on these bus routes - and I will be monitoring the situation closely to ensure these commitments are delivered.
If you experience issues or have concerns during the works, please do get in touch with me so I can raise them directly. ... See MoreSee Less

𝐁𝐮𝐱𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 🚨
The fight to stop the removal of health services from Buxton goes on. Stockport NHS Foundation Trust have still not complied with their obligations to inform and consult or produced an Equality Impact Assessment that I have been demanding they produce for months. There is nothing in the proposed further three month pause that addresses these issues.
I have met with Karin Smyth, the Minister of State for Secondary Care, to raise these issues and I have also had further meetings with Derby and Derbyshire ICB who commission the services.
I have made it clear that Stockport NHS foundation Trust must be held accountable to their patients and contractual duties. I have also raised the strength of feeling locally with thousands of you signing my petition.
I am determined that a proper process must be followed and that the best possible outcome must be secured for patients in Buxton and the surrounding areas.
I'll obviously update you again as soon as I hear anything. Thank you again for all your support in fighting to keep these services. If you haven’t signed the petition please do so here: www.jon4highpeak.com/help-me-protect-local-nhs-services-in-high-peak/ ... See MoreSee Less

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.

I was proud to raise the issue in Parliament today. ... See MoreSee Less
