Firefighters returned to Tintwistle Moor at 7:00am this morning after standing down overnight as daylight faded. Crews from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, alongside partner agencies, are now focusing efforts on the south side of the wildfire while continuing to monitor other areas.

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.

Thank you to local residents and visitors for your continued patience and support.

The consultation on the proposed closure of Glossop Household Waste Recycling Centre is LIVE.

This tip is an important service for our community, and it's vital that local people have their say before any decision is made.

Please take just a few minutes today to do these three things:

🗑️ Complete the Derbyshire County Council consultation: https://bit.ly/glossoptipconsultation
📝 Register your vehicle: https://bit.ly/registeryourvehicle
✍️ Sign my petition to save Glossop Tip: https://bit.ly/saveglossoptippetition

Every response matters and together we can show how important this facility is to residents across Glossop and the High Peak.

Please also share this post so as many people as possible can get involved.

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.
A massive thank you to our Firefighters, Gamekeepers, Mountain Rescue teams, National Park Rangers and all the other organisations that have worked together to get the wildfire on Tintwistle Moor under control. 

I am incredibly grateful for everything they have done and continue to do.

Thank you to all the firefighters, rangers and emergency service personnel who are still working tirelessly to tackle the wildfire on Tintwistle Moor.

The A628 is currently closed between the Gun Inn and the Flouch roundabout while crews continue their efforts to contain the blaze. Firefighters from across Derbyshire and Greater Manchester are working alongside the Peak District National Park, RSPB, United Utilities and other partners to protect our precious moorland.

If you can see or smell smoke, please keep your windows and doors closed and avoid the area while emergency services remain at work.

This fire is a stark reminder of how vulnerable our moorlands are during hot, dry weather. If you're enjoying the countryside this summer, please take care: don't use disposable barbecues, don't light fires, take your litter home and never leave glass bottles behind.

Thank you again to everyone involved in responding to this incident and helping keep our communities safe.

Yesterday I attended the Ministerial Statement on the Farming Roadmap and the Government's response to the Farming Profitability Review.

When I met with local representatives from the NFU earlier this year, they raised concerns about access to the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), particularly for farmers working on common land across the High Peak.

Following those discussions, I have requested a meeting with Rt Hon Emma Reynolds MP to discuss how we can ensure common land farmers are not left behind and can access the support they need through future SFI schemes.

Farming is at the heart of our rural communities and local economy. I'll continue working with farmers, the NFU and ministers to make sure the voices of High Peak farmers are heard in Westminster.
I’m saddened to see the wildfire on Tintwistle Moor. High Peak is the most vulnerable constituency to wildfires in the UK, and it’s vital that we all do our part to protect our moorlands, countryside and communities, especially during periods of hot, dry weather like we’re experiencing now.

My thanks go to Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service who have worked through the night in challenging conditions to keep people safe.

Emergency services are still on scene tackling the blaze this morning. If you can see or smell smoke, keep your windows and doors closed where possible, and avoid the area to allow crews to continue their work safely.

As temperatures remain high again today, please take extra care and follow the advice from emergency services.

Thank you to everyone who has reported the incident and to our emergency services for their continued efforts.

Please stay safe and look out for one another.

Fantastic to see such a large turnout for Chapel Carnival on Saturday🎡🎠
Wishing everyone a fantastic Chapel Carnival tomorrow! 🎭🎉

This year's theme is Sporting Legends, and High Peak has plenty to celebrate. It's especially fitting that the parade is being led by Chapel's own Jack Massey 🥊.

My team has put together a display for the carnival, so if you're passing by, see how many sporting legends you can spot!

Have a brilliant day, and thank you to everyone who helps make this great community event happen each year.

The hoarding has gone, the falling-down house is fixed and this long-running eyesore has finally been dealt with.

Credit to High Peak Borough Council for getting the job done.

Since being elected as your MP, I've argued that childhoods should not be shaped by addictive algorithms, with little protections from anonymous strangers and harmful content.

Today, the Government has announced a landmark ban on social media for under-16s.

This is a major step forward for parents and young people, it won’t be easy but if the social media companies won’t look after our children, then this Government will do whatever it takes to give them back their childhoods.
Great to see such a fantastic turnout at our coffee morning in Simmondley today.

Thank you to everyone who came along, and to Glossop Police Safer Neighbourhood Team and local councillors for joining us and speaking with residents.

☀️Parliament's Summer Recess is just around the corner, which means I'll be spending even more time out and about across the High Peak.

One of the best parts of being your MP is meeting the people, businesses, schools, charities and community groups that make our area such a fantastic place to live.

If you're part of a local organisation, run a business, volunteer with a community group, or know of a project you'd like me to visit this summer, I'd love to hear from you.

📧 Email me at [email protected]

I look forward to meeting even more of the people who make the High Peak such a special place over the summer! 😊

Update on the fire at Tintwistle Moor👇UPDATE - 17:20 hours

Our response to the Tintwistle Moor wildfire is now being scaled down.

Firefighters and partner agencies have withdrawn from the western and eastern flanks, however remain on the southern edge - close to Didsbury Intake - damping down and checking for hotspots.

The helicopter provided by United Utilities has been stood down due to incoming adverse weather conditions.

Rainfall is forecast overnight which is expected to aid our firefighting efforts.

Members of the public are reminded to please avoid the area while we continue to deal with this incident.

☀️ Hot weather safety reminder 🔥

With the sunshine continuing, it’s worth being aware that some everyday household items can unintentionally increase fire risk. Objects such as mirrors, glass ornaments, and perfume bottles left on sunny windowsills can concentrate sunlight and act like a lens.

To stay safe:

✅ Move reflective or glass items away from direct sunlight
✅ Take extra care during the brightest part of the day
❌ Avoid leaving anything that could focus light near curtains, paper, or other flammable materials

A few small precautions at home can help prevent avoidable fires. Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly this summer.

🏆⚽ With England in the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup, High Peak venues should be getting ready for a huge summer of football.

Landlords and venue owners still need to apply for a Temporary Event Notice if they want to extend opening hours for screenings.

Don’t leave it late - get your application in early if you’re planning to show the games.

As the wildfire on Tintwistle Moor continues, it's a timely reminder of how important it is that we all play our part in protecting our countryside.

Wildfires devastate precious habitats, put wildlife at risk and place enormous pressure on our emergency services. A campfire, disposable BBQ or even a discarded cigarette can be enough to start a fire with devastating consequences.

If you're out enjoying the beautiful Peak District this summer, please act responsibly:
🔥 Don't use disposable BBQs or light campfires.
🚭 Never discard cigarettes on the ground.
🚮 Take your litter home.

By taking a few simple precautions, we can all help protect our moorlands, our wildlife and the brave firefighters working tirelessly to keep us safe. Thank you.
