I raised my campaign to ban the sale of disposable BBQs on BBC Politics East Midlands.

It looks like Reform are against taking the necessary steps to protect our communities, firefighters and our countryside.

🎙️ I  joined Craig on High Peak 1  today to talk about the devastating wildfire on Tintwistle Moor and what more we need to do to protect our countryside.

High Peak is the most vulnerable area in the UK to wildfires, and with hotter, drier summers becoming more common, we must do everything we can to reduce the risk.

A huge thank you once again to our firefighters, gamekeepers, farmers, volunteers and everyone who are working tirelessly to tackle this fire and protect our communities.

Please continue to play your part:
🔥 Don't use disposable BBQs on our moorlands
🚯 Take your litter home
🚭 Dispose of cigarettes safely
📞 If you spot a wildfire, call 999 immediately
A major incident is in place following the wildfire at Tintwistle, with firefighters returning to the scene today as smoke continues to drift across parts of Greater Manchester.

Please avoid the area where possible and follow any advice from the emergency services.

A huge thank you to Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, gamekeepers, farmers, volunteers and everyone who has worked tirelessly to tackle this incredibly challenging fire and keep our communities safe.

Thinking of everyone affected, and wishing those still on the ground a safe return home.

A huge thank you to all the firefighters, Derby Mountain Rescue Team, and everyone involved in the Peak District Fire Operations Group for their continued hard work and dedication.

⚠️ Please continue to avoid the area while emergency operations are ongoing. The Pennine Way between Crowden and Black Hill remains closed until further notice to allow aerial firefighting to take place safely.

Another great supermarket surgery at Glossop Tesco the other day alongside Cllrs Damien Greenhalgh, Councillor Stewart Gardner and Councillor Barbara Hastings-Asatourian for Whitfield

It was great to chat with so many residents and hear their views on the issues that matter most locally. There was plenty of lively discussion about proposed housing developments, the bypass, wildfires, traffic and of course the Reform run county councils’ proposal to close Glossop Tip.

🚆 Great to join partners and stakeholders in Edale to discuss the progress being made on the exciting Mini Switzerland Project.

It was fantastic to hear updates on the work already underway and to listen to the views of local organisations, businesses and community representatives who will help shape the next stages of the project. I was also pleased to be there alongside Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward.

This is a real opportunity to improve transport connections, support sustainable tourism, boost our local economy and make it easier for people to travel around the Hope Valley and beyond.

By working together, we can make sure this investment delivers real benefits for local residents, businesses and visitors for years to come. 🚍🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Firefighters and partner agencies continue to work tirelessly to contain the wildfire on Tintwistle Moor, with support from specialist crews from across the UK.

Today, four helicopters have been tackling hotspots across Didsbury Intake, Featherbed Moss, Arnfield Moor and Crowden. Operations are currently focused on Crowden, where a controlled burn is helping to slow the fire’s spread and protect surrounding areas.

⚠️ Please continue to:
• Avoid the Tintwistle area – the A628 remains closed between Hollingworth and Flouch.
• Keep doors and windows closed if smoke is affecting your area.
• Do not fly drones anywhere near the wildfire, as they put aerial firefighting operations and emergency crews at risk.

A huge thank you to our firefighters, mountain rescue teams, gamekeepers, volunteers and everyone working around the clock to protect our communities.

Stay safe and continue to follow the advice of the emergency services. ❤️🔥

🦉🐇 Thank you once again to my constituent, Mark Leah, for sharing these powerful illustrations highlighting the devastating impact wildfires have on our local wildlife and birds.

Behind every wildfire are countless animals that lose their homes, habitats and, far too often, their lives. These images are a stark reminder of why we all have a responsibility to protect our beautiful moorlands.

As the warm weather continues, please do your bit by taking care when visiting the countryside. Together, we can help prevent wildfires and protect the wildlife that calls High Peak home. 🌿❤️

Last nights update from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service👇Wildfire at Tintwistle Moor - #UPDATE 17:00 Saturday 18 July

Firefighters and partner agencies are expected to remain at the scene of the Tintwistle Moor wildfire into next week. They continue to work tirelessly to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further.

Our efforts are currently focused on four key areas: Didsbury Intake, Featherbed Moss, Arnfield Moor and Crowden. The A628 Woodhead Pass remains closed so responders and vehicles can get to and from the scene safely.

Today, two helicopters are dropping water on both the Tintwistle Moor wildfire and a separate wildfire across the border in Greater Manchester at Dovestone Reservoir and Swineshaw Moor. Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service and Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service continue to lead their own operations while working closely together and sharing specialist resources.

The current wind direction is carrying smoke from both incidents towards Manchester. However, forecast changes early next week could mean smoke affects more communities on the Derbyshire side of the border, including Padfield and Hadfield.

Residents and visitors are advised to avoid areas affected by smoke where possible. If you live nearby, please stay indoors and keep doors and windows closed.

If you must travel through an area affected by smoke, keep your windows closed and use the recirculation setting in your vehicle to reduce the amount of smoke entering from outside.

We would like to thank the public for their continued support and cooperation. We also remind anyone planning to visit the High Peak this weekend to avoid the wildfire-affected areas around Tintwistle and nearby communities.
