📺 I joined ITV Central East to discuss my campaign calling on retailers across the UK to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs during periods of high wildfire risk.
I'm pleased that a growing number of retailers have already agreed to act, but there is still more to do. We cannot keep waiting until another preventable fire breaks out before taking action.
Thank you to ITV Central East for covering the campaign and helping raise awareness of this important issue. ... See MoreSee Less

🚨 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗽.
Even after 𝟰,𝟰𝟬𝟬+ 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 signed my petition to save Glossop Tip, Reform are still defending their ridiculous plans to shut it.
What's even more frustrating is that a Reform councillor from Bolsover seems to think she knows our area better than the people who actually live here. They're still claiming people in Glossop don't use the site, despite thousands of local residents making it crystal clear how important it is to our community.
The truth is now clear. Reform have effectively admitted this is about making cuts. They simply don't care about the consequences for Glossop and the wider High Peak.
Closing Glossop Tip would mean longer journeys for residents, put extra pressure on neighbouring sites, and increase the risk of fly-tipping across our area – no matter how much Reform try to deny it.
Instead of listening, Reform are dismissing local people, ignoring the evidence and pressing ahead with a decision that will damage our area.
Our message to Reform couldn't be clearer:
𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. 𝗕𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗽 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻.

This time, firefighters have been tackling a blaze in Wykeham Forest near Scarborough, with early reports indicating it was caused by a disposable BBQ.
We cannot keep treating these incidents as unavoidable.
High Peak is the constituency most vulnerable to wildfires in the UK. Every summer, our firefighters put themselves in harm's way protecting our communities, wildlife and landscapes from preventable fires.
That's why I've been calling on retailers across the country to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs during periods of high wildfire risk. I'm pleased that a number have already stepped up, but more must follow.
One disposable BBQ can have devastating consequences. ... See MoreSee Less

The news that a wildfire at Cannock Chase was caused by a disposable BBQ is another stark reminder of why action is needed.
One disposable BBQ has left a football field-sized area of precious heathland destroyed, killed wildlife and tied up the fire service when resources are already under pressure.
That’s why I’ve been calling on major retailers to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs nationwide while wildfire risk remains so high.
Some retailers have already done the right thing, but others are still selling a product that poses a serious risk to our countryside, wildlife and communities.
This isn’t about stopping people enjoying the outdoors. It’s about preventing avoidable fires before they start. ... See MoreSee Less

🎬 Did you catch BBC North West Tonight last week?
Edale's fantastic community film Stone of Stone was featured, celebrating four years of hard work by local volunteers to bring this incredible project to life.
Keep an eye out... you might even spot my starring role! 👀🎥
If you haven't seen it yet, there are still opportunities to watch:
📅 Sunday 2 August | 7:00pm–9:30pm
📅 Friday 7 August | 2:00pm–4:30pm
📍 The New Community Centre, Lower Lane, Chinley
Set in the fictional village of Stone, the film follows a group of locals who come together for a daring caper to save their community. It's a brilliant example of what can be achieved when people work together, and I'm proud to have been a small part of it.
If you're going along, let me know if you manage to spot me! 🍿 ... See MoreSee Less
