After the devastating wildfire on Snake Pass, it’s deeply concerning to see more campfires and disposable BBQs being used across the Peak District.
Our moorlands and countryside are precious, but with the dry weather, just one small fire can cause huge destruction to wildlife, habitats and local communities.
That’s why I’ve written to major retailers across High Peak calling on them to stop the sale of disposable BBQs, and I’ll continue raising awareness to help protect our countryside.
Thank you to Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, Severn Trent rangers, farmers, gamekeepers and volunteers who work tirelessly to keep people safe and protect our landscapes.

I’m encouraging local youth groups, charities and community organisations to take part in the National Youth Sector Census so the fantastic work happening across our communities is properly recognised.
The Census helps build a national picture of youth services, identify gaps in provision and support future funding decisions.
If your organisation works with young people aged 11–19 (or up to 25 with additional needs), please take 15 minutes to complete it before the 31 May deadline.
Complete the Census here 👇

This Mental Health Awareness Week, the focus is on Action - because even small actions can have a big impact on our mental health 💜
Taking action can mean making time for a walk, talking to someone you trust, checking in on a friend, joining a local group, or simply taking a break when you need one.
Let’s keep the conversation going and continue taking action to support one another across High Peak.

On International Nurses Day, I want to say a huge thank you to all the nurses across the High Peak and our country who work tirelessly to care for people when they need it most. 💙
Nursing is personal to me. My mum was a nurse, my niece is a nurse, and many of my family work in the NHS. I hear first-hand about the pressures staff have faced in recent years.
That’s why it’s encouraging to see NHS waiting lists starting to come down.
The NHS is one of our country’s greatest achievements and it must always remain free at the point of use. Reform’s plans to move towards an insurance-based healthcare system would put that at risk.
Thank you again to every nurse for your compassion, dedication and hard work. ... See MoreSee Less

Cheshire East Council have confirmed final resurfacing works will take place from tomorrow, 12 May to Friday 15 May, which means the road and temporary footbridge will need to fully close to pedestrians and cyclists during this period to keep everyone safe.
After that, the final stages including road lining and landscaping will be completed, with pedestrians and cyclists able to use the road again from Friday 15 May as the temporary footbridge is removed.
The road is expected to fully reopen towards the end of the month.
Thank you to everyone for your patience while these essential works have been carried out. ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to Councillor Barbara Hastings-Asatourian on being appointed the new Mayor of High Peak for 2026/27, and to Councillor Payge Hacking on becoming Deputy Mayor.
Barbara is a fantastic community champion for Whitfield and Glossop, and I know she will bring warmth, compassion and huge dedication to the role over the coming year.
A huge thank you as well to outgoing Mayor Councillor Dom Starkey, who has done an absolutely amazing job over the past year. Dom has been a brilliant ambassador for High Peak and has raised more than £8,000 for three local charities – a fantastic achievement.
Wishing Barbara and Payge every success for the year ahead. ... See MoreSee Less
