I had a fantastic evening in Buxton celebrating the opening of this year's Buxton International Festival.
It was a pleasure to attend the opening night and enjoy a brilliant performance at the Opera House. The festival is one of the highlights of High Peak's cultural calendar, attracting visitors from across the UK and showcasing the very best of music, theatre and the arts.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the festival such a success - from the performers and musicians to the volunteers and organisers who work so hard behind the scenes.

🎙️ 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 ... See MoreSee Less

It was great to meet with local farmers from across High Peak for a roundtable discussion to hear directly about the challenges they're facing.
We had a really constructive conversation covering a range of issues, including the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the growing risk of wildfires on our moorlands, and the impact of fly-tipping on farms and rural communities.
Our farmers play a vital role in producing our food, managing our countryside and supporting our local economy. It's important that their voices are heard, and I'll continue to raise the issues discussed with ministers and work to ensure High Peak's farming community gets the support it needs.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to come along and share their experiences. ... See MoreSee Less

An incredible effort is continuing on Tintwistle Moor, where around 70 firefighters from Derbyshire, Staffordshire, South Yorkshire and Northumberland are working tirelessly to tackle this major wildfire.
Crews are battling four separate fire fronts on foot with water backpacks and beaters, supported by specialist all-terrain vehicles, two helicopters, drones and partner organisations including the Peak District National Park, United Utilities and Mountain Rescue.
These firefighters have been working in extremely hot and challenging conditions, and we all owe them a huge thank you for everything they're doing to protect our communities.
Please do your bit to help:
🔥 Stay off the moors.
🏠 Keep your windows closed if you're affected by smoke.
🚗 Avoid the area and follow any road closures.
Thank you to every single person on the frontline. Stay safe. ... See MoreSee Less
