Cutting costs and supporting local families

Thousands of visitors are expected to come to Glossop this weekend to celebrate the rich history, community spirit and local businesses. From vintage vehicles and live music to parades, markets and family activities, there really will be something for everyone.
A huge thank you to all the volunteers, organisers, businesses and community groups who have worked tirelessly for almost two years to make this event happen. Their dedication is a brilliant example of the pride people have in Glossop and across High Peak.

🚨𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗣𝗨𝗥 𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗬🚨
Following the concerns I raised with High Peak Borough Council about ongoing issues at Harpur Hill Quarry, commonly known as the “Blue Lagoon”, I’m pleased they have confirmed that dye has now been ordered to help deter people from gathering and trespassing at the site.
The lagoon was dyed regularly between 2017 and 2024 by the Community Safety Partnership, but this was removed from the annual plan last year following lower reports of antisocial behaviour. In light of recent events and the renewed concerns from residents, the partnership has now reassessed the situation and is awaiting the manufacturing and delivery of the dye.
I know many residents across Buxton and the wider High Peak remain concerned following the recent viral TikTok videos encouraging people to visit the quarry over the Bank Holiday weekend.
While the site is privately owned, I will continue working with the council, police and partner organisations to push for action that helps keep residents safe, protects our communities and discourages dangerous and irresponsible behaviour at the quarry. ... See MoreSee Less

With the warm weather continuing, please take extra care when visiting the High Peak’s countryside and beauty spots 🌞
Many areas are at serious risk of wildfires, which can spread quickly and cause huge damage to wildlife, nature and nearby communities.
Please follow all PSPO restrictions, avoid disposable barbecues or open flames, and take your litter home with you 🚫🔥
Let’s all do our part to protect High Peak this summer.

The scam claims that households may receive a visit to check their smoke alarms, and that those without a working alarm will be charged £500.
Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service does not charge for home fire safety visits (Safe and Well visits) or any of the equipment fitted as part of these visits, including smoke alarms.
Avoid engaging with suspicious emails and report any concerns to Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223 1133. Please also share the warning with friends, family and neighbours. ... See MoreSee Less
