I'm delighted to see the rollout of the new Lifelong Learning Entitlement, giving adults access to flexible student finance for short courses, modules and degrees that fit around work, family life and other commitments.
For too long, too many people have felt that further education wasn't an option for them because they couldn't commit to full-time study. That shouldn't be a barrier to gaining new skills, building confidence or pursuing new opportunities.
The Lifelong Learning Entitlement will make it easier for people to retrain, change careers, secure a promotion or gain qualifications at a pace that works for them. Whether you're returning to education later in life or looking to take the next step in your career, support will be available throughout your working life. ... See MoreSee Less

This proposal would have a serious impact not only on local residents, but also on farmers across High Peak who rely on the site to dispose of waste responsibly.
I have received a letter from the National Farmers' Union outlining their concerns about the proposed closure and the negative consequences it could have for our farming communities.
Farmers already face enough challenges without having vital local services taken away. Closing Glossop Tip risks increasing costs, creating additional burdens, and making it harder for local businesses and farms to operate.

Make sure you stay hydrated, avoid spending too much time in the sun during the hottest part of the day, and check in on elderly relatives, neighbours and anyone who may be vulnerable.
I also urge everyone to help protect our countryside. The dry conditions significantly increase the risk of fires, so please do not light BBQs, campfires, dispose of cigarettes irresponsibly and please take your litter with you.
We are incredibly lucky to have such beautiful landscapes here in High Peak. Let's all do our part to keep our communities safe and protect our moors, woodlands and green spaces during this hot weather.
Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly. 🌳🔥☀️ ... See MoreSee Less

I'm sharing this helpful resource from the TDS Charitable Foundation to help renters understand their rights, find out which deposit protection scheme holds their deposit, and access support if a dispute arises. ... See MoreSee Less

It was a pleasure to visit St Thomas More Catholic School in Buxton and meet with the student council who asked thoughtful questions about issues affecting our community locally and nationally.
We discussed the action being taken to tackle drug-related crime and anti-social behaviour in Buxton, as well as how we can encourage more young people across the High Peak to get involved in politics and have their voices heard.
Thank you to all the pupils and staff for such an engaging visit. ... See MoreSee Less
