✂️ Clean shave, ready for Movember!

I popped into a barbers in Chapel for one last shave before the moustache-growing begins! 🥸

Throughout November, I’ll be taking part in #Movember to help raise awareness of men’s health, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health.

It’s a great reminder to check in on the men in our lives, have those important conversations and never be afraid to ask for help.

Now, let’s see what the moustache looks like by the end of the month! 👨🏻 Movember UK
🌿 Earlier this week, I joined National Trust at Downing Street to hand over their petition calling on the Government to better protect nature and prepare for the growing threat of climate change.
✉️ A big thank you to the pupils at Charlesworth Primary School for sending me letters about saving Glossop Tip!

It’s brilliant to see young people getting involved in an issue that matters to their community. I’ll keep making the case for Glossop Tip to stay open. ♻️💚
Sudan is facing a humanitarian disaster, with around 13 million people displaced.

In the House of Commons, I asked what more the Government can do to raise awareness and galvanise international action.

The people of Sudan must not be forgotten. 🕊️

Today I met with the Reform Leader of Derbyshire County Council at County Hall in Matlock to discuss the proposed closure of Glossop Household Waste Recycling Centre.

The proposal would mean residents travelling to Buxton to use the nearest alternative site.

I raised the concerns I’ve heard from residents across Glossop and the wider High Peak, and stressed the importance of properly considering the impact any closure would have on local people.

No final decision has yet been made, with the council expected to consider the proposal later this year.

I’ll continue to make sure the concerns of Glossop residents are heard as this process continues.
I've come out of the meeting with the Reform leader of Derbyshire County Council - I’ll be continuing to push for answers on the proposed closure of Glossop Tip.

I know it might feel a little early to mention the C-word, but I'm launching my annual Christmas Card Competition!

I'm inviting children across the High Peak to get creative and design a Christmas card based on this year's theme: “What Christmas means to you”.

Whether it's spending time with family and friends, enjoying festive traditions, helping others or something else that makes Christmas special, I'd love to see your ideas!

🏆 The winning design will become my official Christmas card for 2026, sent out from my Parliamentary office, and the winner will receive a special prize. I'll also visit their school to present it in person!

Here's how to enter:
🎨 One design per child.
📅 Deadline: Friday 6 November 2026.
📩 Email entries to [email protected].

I can't wait to see the fantastic designs and creativity from children across the High Peak. Best of luck to everyone taking part!

🚨✅ 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘: 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝗕𝗨𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 – 𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗗𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡

I'm relieved to hear that everyone injured in yesterday's serious bus collision in New Mills suffered only minor injuries.

Derbyshire Constabulary have confirmed that the bus was recovered overnight and the building has been declared safe following an inspection by a structural engineer.

✅ Union Road, Market Street and St Mary's Road have now all fully reopened.

My best wishes to everyone affected by the incident, and a huge thank you to our emergency services and everyone involved in responding so quickly, making the area safe and getting the town centre back open.

👏 A fantastic effort by all involved.

🚨 INCIDENT IN NEW MILLS

I'm deeply concerned to hear about the serious bus collision in New Mills town centre this evening.

Derbyshire Constabulary have confirmed that several people have been injured, although thankfully none of the injuries are currently believed to be life-threatening.

My thoughts are with everyone involved, those injured and their families. I hope everyone affected is safe and those injured make a full recovery.

A huge thank you to our emergency services Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service and East Midlands Ambulance Service, who are responding to what must be a very challenging incident.

⚠️ Please avoid the area. Union Road, Market Street and St Mary's Road are currently closed, with a cordon in place due to concerns about a potential gas leak.

Please follow police advice and give emergency crews the space they need to do their jobs safely.

I'll share any further official updates as they become available.

☕ It was great to meet local residents at my coffee morning in Edale recently, hear their concerns and talk about the issues affecting communities across High Peak.

We discussed everything from local issues like graffiti to the impact of wildfires in our area, which I also raised at the national Wildfire Summit on Friday.

Thank you to everyone who came along and took the time to share their thoughts.

Not everyone thinks about how fireworks can affect our pets and other animals. I’m supporting RSPCA (England & Wales) to encourage everyone in my constituency to #BeAKindSpark and Help Quieten the Noise by considering attending organised events this fireworks season.

RSPCA research has shown that 66% of animals are negatively impacted by private firework displays and 55% of pet and livestock owners dread fireworks season. Find out more information here: rspca.org.uk/fireworksImpact
