Please be aware that the A57 Snake Pass will be fully closed 🚧 24 hours a day from Monday 15 June until Friday 3 July while major investigation and repair works take place at the Doctor’s Gate landslip site.
The closure will affect the route between Glossop and Bamford Reservoir.
These works are essential to help find a long-term solution after ongoing ground movement and cracking along the road. While the closure is in place, teams will also be carrying out:
🛣️ Pothole repairs
🧹 Litter picking
🌧️ Drain clearing
🌳 Cutting back overgrown trees and hedges
🚸 Pavement repairs
🪧 Cleaning and replacing damaged signs
A signed diversion route will be in place, and access for residents, businesses, farmers and organisations along the route will be maintained.
I know this will be frustrating for many people who regularly use Snake Pass, but public safety must come first. These works involve heavy machinery and drilling equipment operating across the carriageway, and they are vital to securing the future of this route.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding while this important work is carried out🙏 ... See MoreSee Less

Over the Bank Holiday weekend and during the recent heatwave, I was contacted by residents with concerns about the large numbers of people visiting Harpur Hill Quarry, often known as the "Blue Lagoon".
I'm pleased that action has now been taken to dye the water, helping to discourage people from entering what remains a dangerous and unsuitable site for swimming.
Recent footage shared by Emma on TikTok highlighted some of the issues being caused by visitors, including littering, anti-social behaviour and damage to the surrounding area. While the quarry may look inviting in photos and videos, it is not a safe place to swim and can pose serious risks to health and safety.
Thank you to everyone who got in touch to raise their concerns, and thank you to Emma for taking some time to clean up some of the litter over the past few days.

Behind every session is someone giving their time to help a child discover the joy of reading and build skills that will last a lifetime.

Anyone who knows me will know that I'm a big fan of fish and chips, so this is a day I can definitely get behind!
We're lucky to have some fantastic fish and chip shops across High Peak, serving up one of Britain's favourite meals and supporting our local high streets.
