Great news! Really good to work alongside our hardworking local Labour councillor, Cllr Rob Baker for Tintwistle Ward, to help get these works completed as quickly as possible. Working on restoring the bus service ASAP now.ℹ️ Gas Works Waterside

✅ The road is now open, all barriers and road closure signs have gone

✅ Works completed well ahead of schedule - myself and Jon Pearce MP for High Peak pressed Cadent hard to get on with the works and keep the closure as short as possible.

⚠️ Trying to get the 237 bus reinstated ASAP.
➡️ I have emailed TFGM
➡️ I've asked our MP and County Cllr to do the same

⚠️ I have no direct line to TFGM but doing all I can and will update when I know what's happening with the 237.

Thanks for your patience 👍 ... See MoreSee Less

So delighted to see Naomi, Phil and the whole team at Edale Station Friends recently receive this award at the Community Rail Awards! 🎉

They thoroughly deserve this recognition for all their hard work making our whole community proud 👏Huge congratulations to Edale Station Friends for scooping an award at the Community Rail Awards evening! They won in the ‘It’s Your Station’ category, a well-deserved celebration of the hard work they have put into making Edale station such a wonderful place to travel to and from! Here are Phil and Naomi with their award.

Here is a little more information about their work:

It’s Your Station - Sprucing up Edale Station

Edale Station Friends (ESF), a group of 8 people in a village of 287, have been making the station a cheery, interesting and informative environment for visitors and residents of Edale. Edale station sits in a magnificent setting. It deserves to be taken care of. Edale does not have sufficient car parking for the increasing number of people who want to walk the hills in this majestic landscape, so they are encouraged to use the train. The ESF plan included replacing the chain-link fence with wooden fencing and, to celebrate Railway 200, ESF have been re-painting the station furniture in the heritage Midland Red and Cream, improving the planting and notice boards. To do this, ESF had to get permission from Network Rail, Northern Rail, the Station Manager and ISS. This was easier said than done, requiring face to face meetings and email correspondence. ESF has received many compliments on their work, inspiring other nearby stations and with people saying that the station is now a pleasure for visitors as they travel and villagers feel proud of their station. Two train guards have even told ESF that it’s their favourite station!

Always good to be out and about canvassing with fantastic local Labour councillors!

I always say canvassing, and listening to the issues that are affecting you the most, is one of the most important things I do. In New Mills some of the issues that came up on the doorstep were crime, immigration and of course the cost of living.

Have an issue that’s affecting you? Please do get in touch with my office and we will do all we can to help.

I know how frustrating it is when you see money come out of your account for a subscription you no longer need or forgot to cancel. It’s certainly happened to me more often than I’d like to admit.

Now thanks to new rules announced by this Labour Government, we're stopping “free trials” turning into pricey surprises.

🚆 £6 MILLION FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN HOPE VALLEY

After strong campaigning from local people, especially the brilliant tenacious volunteers at Hope Valley Climate Action, I’ve secured £6 million for a pioneering “Mini Switzerland” public transport pilot in High Peak.

It’s great that the Labour Government and Labour East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward have backed my campaign and listened to our local communities.

For too long, communities from Castleton to Hope and Bamford have had to put up with unreliable public transport, congestion and illegal parking. It came to a crunch last year when a TikTok craze for sunrise and sunset photos saw roads blocked, stopping farmers accessing fields and even holding up emergency services.

We’ve pushed hard for action. Better signage, road markings and enforcement will help, but this project, the brainchild of Hope Valley Climate Action, tackles the root cause.

It means buses and trains working together on simple, reliable, clockwork timetables, with better connections, less waiting and joined-up tickets.

I’ve been clear that we need transport that actually works together. That’s how we give people a real alternative to the car, improve access to jobs, education and healthcare, and protect our countryside while supporting sustainable tourism.

As we mark 75 years of the Peak District National Park, this is about keeping it accessible, sustainable and loved for the next 75.
