As we head into the summer months, it’s important that everyone enjoys the Peak District safely and responsibly.
There has unfortunately been an increase in anti-social behaviour along Snake Pass between Glossop and Bamford, including irresponsible camping and fires which continue to damage the Snake Woodlands and surrounding environment.
Following the devastating wildfire in the area, protecting our countryside must remain a priority.
Thank you to Derbyshire Police, the National Trust, High Peak Borough Council and Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service for working together to help keep residents, visitors and our natural environment safe.
Over the summer, there will be a continued high-visibility police presence along Snake Pass, with officers engaging with visitors and taking action where necessary against dangerous or irresponsible behaviour.
We are incredibly lucky to have the Peak District on our doorstep - please help look after it. 🌿🔥 ... See MoreSee Less

I know many residents across Buxton and the wider High Peak are concerned about ongoing issues at Harpur Hill Quarry, commonly known as the “Blue Lagoon”.
Over the Bank Holiday weekend, a number of viral TikTok videos encouraged people to visit the site, leading to renewed concerns around safety, antisocial behaviour, parking, littering and pressure on local emergency services.
I am aware of the situation and whilst the quarry is in private ownership, I will continue working with local authorities, the police and partner organisations to push for action and long-term solutions. ... See MoreSee Less

Our beautiful Peak District landscapes attract thousands of visitors every year, but dangerous and inconsiderate parking puts local residents, road users and emergency services at risk.
Thank you to Glossop SNT for their work tackling the issue over the weekend.
If you’re visiting the High Peak during the warm weather, please plan ahead, use designated car parks where possible and park responsibly so everyone can enjoy our area safely. 🚗☀️ ... See MoreSee Less

Hot weather can affect anyone, but older people, young children and those with existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable. Please check in on neighbours, friends and relatives who may need extra support during the heat.
Remember to:
☀️ Stay hydrated
☀️ Keep homes cool where possible
☀️ Avoid the hottest part of the day
☀️ Never leave children or pets in cars
☀️ Take extra care around water as risks can increase during hot weather
Our NHS and care services are already under pressure, so taking simple precautions can help keep yourself and others safe.
You can find the latest guidance and weather alerts from UKHSA and the Met Office online. ... See MoreSee Less

After 26 years helping generations of children safely cross the road outside Hayfield Primary, a huge thank you and happy retirement to Janette Hollinrake. 💙
Janette has been a familiar face in the community for more than a quarter of a century, supporting local families through rain, shine and everything in between. Her dedication, kindness and commitment have made a real difference to so many children and parents over the years.
Wishing Janette a very happy and well-earned retirement filled with holidays, photography, baking and plenty of relaxation. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Hayfield. 👏

Please take this warning seriously.
After the recent wildfire at Snake Pass, the last thing our area needs is more dangerous campfires being lit during this hot weather.
Our firefighters do an incredible job protecting communities across High Peak, but wildfires put huge pressure on emergency services and can devastate our countryside, wildlife and local environment in a matter of moments.
Thank you to Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service for everything they are doing to keep people safe.
If you’re visiting the Peak District this summer, please enjoy it responsibly:
❌ No campfires
❌ No disposable barbecues
🚮 Take your litter home
🔥 Report fires immediately
We all have a responsibility to protect this special landscape. ... See MoreSee Less
