Just been on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about the Government backing my campaign and banning disposable barbecues from sale.
𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘆 & 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 📮

A quick update from Councillor Stewart Gardner and I on the latest situation and what we’re doing to support local residents and protect these vital community services.

A major win for our countryside 🌳 

The Government has temporarily banned the sale of disposable BBQs following the campaign I’ve been leading.
Good luck to all Level 3 students receiving their results today🎓
📺 I joined ITV Central East to discuss my campaign calling on retailers across the UK to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs during periods of high wildfire risk.

I'm pleased that a growing number of retailers have already agreed to act, but there is still more to do. We cannot keep waiting until another preventable fire breaks out before taking action.

Thank you to ITV Central East for covering the campaign and helping raise awareness of this important issue.
🎬 Did you catch BBC North West Tonight last week?

Edale's fantastic community film Stone of Stone was featured, celebrating four years of hard work by local volunteers to bring this incredible project to life.

Keep an eye out... you might even spot my starring role! 👀🎥

If you haven't seen it yet, there are still opportunities to watch:

📅 Sunday 2 August | 7:00pm–9:30pm
📅 Friday 7 August | 2:00pm–4:30pm
📍 The New Community Centre, Lower Lane, Chinley

Set in the fictional village of Stone, the film follows a group of locals who come together for a daring caper to save their community. It's a brilliant example of what can be achieved when people work together, and I'm proud to have been a small part of it.

If you're going along, let me know if you manage to spot me! 🍿
📺 This morning I joined BBC Breakfast to talk about my campaign calling on all major retailers to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs.

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

I'm calling on supermarkets and retailers across the country to follow the lead of those who have already acted and suspend sales of disposable BBQs while the wildfire risk remains high.

Protecting our moorlands, wildlife, firefighters and communities must come before convenience.

If you missed it, you can watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/X_yRCVySDws?si=0t84cn6Jo5OIy607 🔥🌿
🔥 Disposable BBQs are putting our countryside at risk.

I joined Ian Skye on BBC Radio Derby today to explain why I'm calling on retailers across the UK to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs during periods of high fire risk.

You can listen to the full interview at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0083c2z
One decision. Thousands of acres protected. 🌿🔥

It's time for retailers to stop selling disposable BBQs.

Sign my petition and help me take this campaign national: www.jon4highpeak.com/ban-the-use-of-disposable-bbqs-in-public-spaces/
The risk of wildfires is still incredibly high, and one careless disposable BBQ can have devastating consequences.

I’ve written to supermarkets asking them to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs while the risk remains so high, so far Sainsbury’s and Co-op have responded. We all have a part to play in protecting our countryside, wildlife and local communities.

Please do your bit and choose a safer alternative. 🌿🔥
📢 The consultation has now closed, and my petition signed by over 4,400 people has been formally submitted. Thank you to everyone who signed – I'll keep fighting to save Glossop Tip. ♻️💚

🏍️ What a fantastic Ride 2 Buxton event!

Brilliant to see such a large turnout of motorcyclists coming into Buxton, with riders getting the chance to meet fellow bikers and connect with the organisations supporting the motorcycling community.

A huge thank you to Buxton Fire Station, Derbyshire Constabulary and East Midlands Ambulance Service for helping make the event such a success.

Great to see Buxton buzzing with visitors and the biking community out in force! 👏🏍️

I’m really pleased to see free bus travel for disabled people being extended to 24/7 across the country.

At the moment, free travel is restricted to after 9:30am. Extending it to all day will make a real difference to people who need to get to work, college, hospital appointments and other essential commitments.

This is something that has been raised with me directly at my coffee mornings and advice surgeries, so I’m particularly pleased to see action being taken. 🚌

🎆 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀

The Government has launched a consultation on fireworks and pyrotechnics, looking at how we can make their use safer and more considerate.

The proposals include reducing the maximum noise level of fireworks available to the public, restricting louder fireworks to professional users and banning certain high-risk pyrotechnic products.

I know fireworks are enjoyed by many people, but I also hear from residents about the impact of excessive noise, anti-social behaviour and the distress fireworks can cause to people and animals.

That’s why it’s important that people across High Peak have their say.

The consultation is open until Wednesday 7 October 2026.

👉 Have your say and share your views with the Government: www.gov.uk/government/consultations/fireworks-and-pyrotechnics-in-the-uk/fireworks-and-pyrotechni...
