Thank you to Tameside Correspondent for covering my campaign 🙌🏻High Peak MP Jon Pearce is calling on major retailers across the UK to suspend the sale of disposable barbecues following a summer of devastating wildfires, including the major blaze at Dove stone.
Jon Pearce has written to major retailers urging them to remove disposable BBQs from sale both online and in stores, after fires across the UK caused widespread damage to countryside, wildlife habitats and protected landscapes.
The Dove stone fire, which affected moorland around the Saddleworth and Tameside border, saw firefighters battle for several days to bring the blaze under control. The wildfire caused significant damage to the landscape and required a major response from emergency services.

🚨 More than 4,400 local people have signed our petition to save Glossop Tip.
Earlier this week I took your voices directly to Reform-run Derbyshire County Council, delivering our petition to County Hall alongside Cllr Damien Greenhalgh.
Thank you to everyone who signed, shared our campaign or responded to the council's consultation. Together, we've sent a clear message: Keep Glossop Tip open.
The consultation may have closed, but this campaign is far from over.
I've written to Reform's leadership asking for a meeting so I can make the case directly. After relying on flawed evidence throughout this process, they now have a responsibility to listen to the thousands of local people who have spoken out.
Closing Glossop Tip would be a huge mistake. It would mean longer journeys for residents, more fly-tipping, greater pressure on our rural communities and an increased wildfire risk at a time when High Peak is already one of the most vulnerable areas in the country.
Reform's plan to close Glossop Tip is quite literally a rubbish idea.
I'll keep fighting until they do the right thing and abandon these plans.
Thank you again to every single person who has stood with us. Let's keep the pressure on. ♻️ ... See MoreSee Less

The risk of wildfires is still incredibly high, and one careless disposable BBQ can have devastating consequences.
I’ve written to supermarkets asking them to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs while the risk remains so high, so far Sainsbury’s and Co-op have responded. We all have a part to play in protecting our countryside, wildlife and local communities.
Please do your bit and choose a safer alternative. 🌿🔥 ... See MoreSee Less

That's why Labour is introducing a new Youth Jobs Grant, helping young people into work, apprenticeships and training by giving employers the confidence to create more opportunities.
