Fantastic to see such a large turnout for Chapel Carnival on Saturday🎡🎠
Wishing everyone a fantastic Chapel Carnival tomorrow! 🎭🎉

This year's theme is Sporting Legends, and High Peak has plenty to celebrate. It's especially fitting that the parade is being led by Chapel's own Jack Massey 🥊.

My team has put together a display for the carnival, so if you're passing by, see how many sporting legends you can spot!

Have a brilliant day, and thank you to everyone who helps make this great community event happen each year.

It's been a long time coming. But we have finally got our high street back!  🎉🎉🎉
🎉 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦! 🎉
The hoarding has gone, the falling-down house is fixed and this long-running eyesore has finally been dealt with.

Credit to High Peak Borough Council for getting the job done.

Best of all, I'm told the "temporary" traffic lights are coming down tomorrow! 🚦👏

Since being elected as your MP, I've argued that childhoods should not be shaped by addictive algorithms, with little protections from anonymous strangers and harmful content.

Today, the Government has announced a landmark ban on social media for under-16s.

This is a major step forward for parents and young people, it won’t be easy but if the social media companies won’t look after our children, then this Government will do whatever it takes to give them back their childhoods.
Great to see such a fantastic turnout at our coffee morning in Simmondley today.

Thank you to everyone who came along, and to Glossop Police Safer Neighbourhood Team and local councillors for joining us and speaking with residents.

Over the Bank Holiday weekend and during the recent heatwave, I was contacted by residents with concerns about the large numbers of people visiting Harpur Hill Quarry, often known as the "Blue Lagoon".

I'm pleased that action has now been taken to dye the water, helping to discourage people from entering what remains a dangerous and unsuitable site for swimming.

Recent footage shared by Emma on TikTok highlighted some of the issues being caused by visitors, including littering, anti-social behaviour and damage to the surrounding area. While the quarry may look inviting in photos and videos, it is not a safe place to swim and can pose serious risks to health and safety.

Thank you to everyone who got in touch to raise their concerns, and thank you to Emma for taking some time to clean up some of the litter over the past few days.

I'm delighted to see the rollout of the new Lifelong Learning Entitlement, giving adults access to flexible student finance for short courses, modules and degrees that fit around work, family life and other commitments.

For too long, too many people have felt that further education wasn't an option for them because they couldn't commit to full-time study. That shouldn't be a barrier to gaining new skills, building confidence or pursuing new opportunities.

The Lifelong Learning Entitlement will make it easier for people to retrain, change careers, secure a promotion or gain qualifications at a pace that works for them. Whether you're returning to education later in life or looking to take the next step in your career, support will be available throughout your working life.

This proposal would have a serious impact not only on local residents, but also on farmers across High Peak who rely on the site to dispose of waste responsibly.

I have received a letter from the National Farmers' Union outlining their concerns about the proposed closure and the negative consequences it could have for our farming communities.

Farmers already face enough challenges without having vital local services taken away. Closing Glossop Tip risks increasing costs, creating additional burdens, and making it harder for local businesses and farms to operate.

This Armed Forces Week, I want to thank all those serving in our Armed Forces, veterans, reservists and military families across High Peak.

The commitment and sacrifice shown by our Armed Forces community is extraordinary. This week, we come together to recognise their service, reflect on all they do for our country, and show our appreciation.

Thank you for your service.

Make sure you stay hydrated, avoid spending too much time in the sun during the hottest part of the day, and check in on elderly relatives, neighbours and anyone who may be vulnerable.

I also urge everyone to help protect our countryside. The dry conditions significantly increase the risk of fires, so please do not light BBQs, campfires, dispose of cigarettes irresponsibly and please take your litter with you.

We are incredibly lucky to have such beautiful landscapes here in High Peak. Let's all do our part to keep our communities safe and protect our moors, woodlands and green spaces during this hot weather.

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly. 🌳🔥☀️

Are you renting privately in High Peak?

Many tenants don't realise they have the right to challenge unfair tenancy deposit deductions through a free independent dispute resolution service.

I'm sharing this helpful resource from the TDS Charitable Foundation to help renters understand their rights, find out which deposit protection scheme holds their deposit, and access support if a dispute arises.

It was a pleasure to visit St Thomas More Catholic School in Buxton and meet with the student council who asked thoughtful questions about issues affecting our community locally and nationally.

We discussed the action being taken to tackle drug-related crime and anti-social behaviour in Buxton, as well as how we can encourage more young people across the High Peak to get involved in politics and have their voices heard.

Thank you to all the pupils and staff for such an engaging visit.
