I will continue meeting with the council and discussing alternate options available for service users.

🎙️ I  joined Craig on High Peak 1  today to talk about the devastating wildfire on Tintwistle Moor and what more we need to do to protect our countryside.

High Peak is the most vulnerable area in the UK to wildfires, and with hotter, drier summers becoming more common, we must do everything we can to reduce the risk.

A huge thank you once again to our firefighters, gamekeepers, farmers, volunteers and everyone who are working tirelessly to tackle this fire and protect our communities.

Please continue to play your part:
🔥 Don't use disposable BBQs on our moorlands
🚯 Take your litter home
🚭 Dispose of cigarettes safely
📞 If you spot a wildfire, call 999 immediately
A major incident is in place following the wildfire at Tintwistle, with firefighters returning to the scene today as smoke continues to drift across parts of Greater Manchester.

Please avoid the area where possible and follow any advice from the emergency services.

A huge thank you to Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, gamekeepers, farmers, volunteers and everyone who has worked tirelessly to tackle this incredibly challenging fire and keep our communities safe.

Thinking of everyone affected, and wishing those still on the ground a safe return home.

Firefighters returned to Tintwistle Moor at 7:00am this morning after standing down overnight as daylight faded. Crews from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, alongside partner agencies, are now focusing efforts on the south side of the wildfire while continuing to monitor other areas.

A huge thank you to all the firefighters, Derby Mountain Rescue Team, and everyone involved in the Peak District Fire Operations Group for their continued hard work and dedication.

⚠️ Please continue to avoid the area while emergency operations are ongoing. The Pennine Way between Crowden and Black Hill remains closed until further notice to allow aerial firefighting to take place safely.

Thank you to local residents and visitors for your continued patience and support.

Another great supermarket surgery at Glossop Tesco the other day alongside Cllrs Damien Greenhalgh, Councillor Stewart Gardner and Councillor Barbara Hastings-Asatourian for Whitfield

It was great to chat with so many residents and hear their views on the issues that matter most locally. There was plenty of lively discussion about proposed housing developments, the bypass, wildfires, traffic and of course the Reform run county councils’ proposal to close Glossop Tip.
A massive thank you to our Firefighters, Gamekeepers, Mountain Rescue teams, National Park Rangers and all the other organisations that have worked together to get the wildfire on Tintwistle Moor under control. 

I am incredibly grateful for everything they have done and continue to do.

Last week, I nominated Andy Burnham to be the next Leader of the Labour Party.
Everyone knows I have been unwaveringly loyal to Keir Starmer and have worked closely with him, particularly over the last year.

Under Keir's leadership, Labour became electable again and returned to government for the first time in 14 years. As Prime Minister, he took on the difficult task of stabilising our economy after years of decline and began rebuilding our public services, taking back control of our railways and bringing down NHS waiting lists.

I believe tomorrow’s historians will be far kinder to him than today’s keyboard warriors.

His government strengthened workers' rights, delivered greater security for renters (including over 6000 here in High Peak), and through measures such as extending free school meals and lifting the pernicious two-child benefit cap, will have lifted more children out of poverty than any other Labour government.

He leaves behind a legacy that has made our country fairer and stronger, and I want to thank him for his service.

As Keir moves on, I believe it is important that our party unites behind a leader who can build on his legacy. That is why I have chosen to support Andy Burnham.
I've worked closely with Andy over the years, and we share many of the same priorities for communities like ours in High Peak.

Together, we worked to secure the extension of free bus travel to young people in High Peak studying in Greater Manchester - saving local families thousands of pounds. We also brought together the Peak Partnership, alongside East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward and South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard, to work collaboratively on the issues that matter most to our area, from transport and tourism to economic growth.

That is also why I will be hoping Bev Craig wins the Greater Manchester mayoralty. Reform, through things like trying to close Glossop tip and opposing banning disposable BBQs, have shown they don’t really understand the needs and priorities for our area. I’m therefore concerned that a Reform mayor will have no interest in working collaboratively across regions and will scrap the Peak Partnership.

I've also seen first-hand how Andy's leadership has transformed public transport through the Bee Network. Those improvements are already benefiting communities like Glossop and Hadfield, where many residents rely on strong connections with Greater Manchester for work, education and health services.

Andy knows our part of the country. He understands that places like High Peak, and communities across the North and Midlands, deserve the same opportunities as everywhere else. He knows that better transport, stronger public services and investment in local economies are not luxuries - they are essential if we are to create opportunities for all.

We also share many of the same values. Whether it is standing up to powerful water companies that have polluted our rivers and believing that working people should always come before corporate interests, Andy has consistently shown he is prepared to challenge the status quo when it is the right thing to do.

I believe Andy can unite our Party and lead Labour into its next chapter with renewed optimism. I look forward to working with him to continue delivering for High Peak and for Britain in the years ahead.
