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.
Just arrived at County Hall in Matlock for a meeting with the Reform leader of Derbyshire County Council to discuss their proposed closure of Glossop Tip.
𝗗𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. Last week, I spoke about why better paternity leave matters - not just for fathers, but for mothers, children and families. I’ve been lucky enough to experience being a dad who can be there. But I also know what it’s like to miss school pick-ups, bedtime routines and those everyday moments that make up parenthood. Too many dads simply can’t afford to take the time off. 90% of claimed paternity leave goes to the highest earners, while self-employed workers currently have no statutory entitlement. That’s why I’m campaigning for six weeks of paternity leave, paid at 90% of earnings, with equivalent support for self-employed and insecure workers. If we want caring, responsibility and kindness to be seen as strengths, we need to help dads be there. A little change to paternity leave can make a big difference. 👨‍👧‍👦
🎤 Work experience can open doors for young people. At Business Questions on Thursday, I raised the importance of giving young people access to work experience and highlighted my fourth High Peak Careers, Skills & Jobs Fair on 25 September. I’m encouraging exhibitors to offer work experience opportunities to local young people and called for a debate in Parliament on why it matters. 📅 25 September | 📍 Glossop Cricket Club | ⏰ 10am–1pm
🚌 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗡 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞 𝗕𝗨𝗦 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦 🚌 From 27 September, more Route 61 services are coming to the High Peak, giving people more opportunities to travel between Glossop, New Mills, Hayfield and Buxton. I've been working with local councillors and brilliant community groups including Sustainable Hayfield, GAST: Glossopdale Action for Sustainable Travel and Buxton Town Team to make the case for better bus connections across our communities. So I’m delighted that Labour Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward has listened and provided the funding to make it happen. This is what can happen when a Labour Mayor, MP and local councillors work together with our communities and deliver. 🌹 Better buses mean better access to jobs, education, appointments and our town centres - and this is a really positive step forward for public transport across the High Peak.
🎙️ I spoke to High Peak 1 this month about the devastating wildfires we’ve seen across the High Peak this summer. I’ve been campaigning for a ban on disposable barbecues, which can cause devastating damage when used irresponsibly on our moors and countryside. Our landscapes are precious, and we need to do everything we can to protect them. 🔥🌿
🏎️ A huge congratulations to Glossop’s Alisha Palmowski on her incredible rise through the F1 Academy! 👏 It was fantastic to see Alisha featured on North West Tonight earlier this week, talking about her journey and her growing success in motorsport. 🏁 She’s showing just what can be achieved with talent, determination and hard work - and it’s brilliant to see someone from Glossop making waves on the world stage. 🇬🇧
Local charities are at the heart of communities across High Peak. At Business Questions today, I raised the vital role charities play in supporting people across our constituency and making a difference where it matters most. I want to thank every charity, volunteer and community organisation across High Peak for the incredible work you do every day. Your contribution makes a real difference to people’s lives, and I will always be proud to champion the work you do. Connex Community Support New Mills and District Volunteer Centre Little Cherubs Community
🔥 At Prime Minister’s Questions today, I raised the devastating wildfires we have seen across the High Peak this summer. I asked what more can be done to make sure communities like ours are better prepared to prevent and tackle wildfires as our climate changes. I was pleased the Prime Minister recognised the scale of the challenge and announced a wildfire summit. We need to make sure our fire and rescue services have the equipment, resources and aerial support they need to tackle these fires - and we need to take action to prevent them in the first place.
Back in Parliament today for the first day after the summer recess - and straight into a Westminster Hall debate on an issue that residents across the High Peak raise with me regularly. I spoke about the importance of protecting access to face-to-face banking services, particularly in rural communities where losing a local bank can leave people struggling to access the services they rely on. I’ll continue to make sure the voices of High Peak residents are heard as we work to protect access to vital banking services in our communities.
🚨 A Reform councillor from Bolsover is pushing to close Glossop Household Waste Recycling Centre - despite the huge number of local residents who rely on it. Over 4,400 people signed my petition to keep our tip open. I’ve made it clear that I will continue standing up for Glossop and fighting this closure.♻️ #HighPeak #Glossop #SaveGlossopTip
Looking to take the next step in your career, learn new skills or find support as you explore your options? 💼 I'm delighted that Christians Against Poverty will be joining us at my 4th High Peak Careers, Skills & Jobs Fair this September. They'll be there to share more about the support they offer and meet people from across the High Peak.

I was pleased to speak on a Google AI panel at Labour Party Conference about the opportunities AI can bring to our economy.

AI has huge potential to boost productivity and create new opportunities for people and businesses.

But we also need to make sure we lead the world in how we regulate AI properly - making the most of its benefits while protecting people and making sure the technology works for everyone.🤖 ... See MoreSee Less

🔥 Recently, I attended a reception at Number 10 Downing Street to recognise the work of firefighters, emergency services, landowners, volunteers, gamekeepers and communities who have helped tackle wildfires this summer.

After the devastating fires we saw across High Peak, I’ve been campaigning for stronger action to prevent wildfires and keep our moorlands safe.

It was great to meet some of those working on the frontline and hear more about the lessons from this summer - and why we need to keep up the momentum on wildfire prevention. 🌿🔥 ... See MoreSee Less

🌦️ From a summer of sunshine to a bit of proper High Peak weather!

I was out canvassing in Tintwistle recently, speaking to residents and hearing about the issues that matter to the local community.

After a summer of sun and heatwaves, it was nice to have a bit of rain - although perhaps not quite so much while out knocking on doors! ☔️

Thanks to everyone who took the time to stop and have a chat. ... See MoreSee Less
