📺 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.
🎬 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! 🍿
📺 This morning I joined BBC Breakfast to talk about my campaign calling on all major retailers to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs.

High Peak is the constituency most vulnerable to wildfires in the UK, and with hotter, drier summers becoming more common, we need to do more to reduce the risk.

I'm calling on supermarkets and retailers across the country to follow the lead of those who have already acted and suspend sales of disposable BBQs while the wildfire risk remains high.

Protecting our moorlands, wildlife, firefighters and communities must come before convenience.

If you missed it, you can watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/X_yRCVySDws?si=0t84cn6Jo5OIy607 🔥🌿
🔥 Disposable BBQs are putting our countryside at risk.

I joined Ian Skye on BBC Radio Derby today to explain why I'm calling on retailers across the UK to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs during periods of high fire risk.

You can listen to the full interview at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0083c2z
One decision. Thousands of acres protected. 🌿🔥

It's time for retailers to stop selling disposable BBQs.

Sign my petition and help me take this campaign national: www.jon4highpeak.com/ban-the-use-of-disposable-bbqs-in-public-spaces/
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. 🌿🔥
📢 The consultation has now closed, and my petition signed by over 4,400 people has been formally submitted. Thank you to everyone who signed – I'll keep fighting to save Glossop Tip. ♻️💚
🔥 I joined LBC today to make the case for supermarkets across the UK to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs while we face another dangerous wildfire season.

High Peak is the constituency most at risk of wildfires, and we've seen first-hand the devastation these fires cause to our countryside, wildlife and emergency services.

Some retailers have already acted locally. Now it's time for supermarkets nationwide to do the same.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped to say hi at my supermarket surgery in Buxton yesterday.
🎆 Earlier this year, I spoke in a Westminster Hall debate on the sale of fireworks to raise the concerns that so many High Peak residents have shared with me.

During the debate, I highlighted the campaign led by my constituent, Robert Branch, whose petition helped bring this issue before Parliament. As a fellow dog owner, I know just how much distress irresponsible firework use can cause for pets, as well as veterans, young children and others in our communities.

I'm pleased the Government has now launched a consultation on fireworks legislation, and I hope as many people as possible will take the opportunity to have their say.

🔥 The wildfire situation across High Peak continues to develop.

A huge thank you to our incredible firefighters, gamekeepers and everyone working around the clock to keep people safe.

Please continue to avoid affected areas and follow official advice.
I raised my campaign to ban the sale of disposable BBQs on BBC Politics East Midlands.

It looks like Reform are against taking the necessary steps to protect our communities, firefighters and our countryside.

It is hugely welcome that the Prime Minister has said he will consider imposing a ban on disposable barbecues.

He is right that the message needs to go out loud and clear that people should not be using disposable barbecues in public places at this time.

I am grateful to all the national retailers who supported my campaign to suspend the sale of disposable barbecues this summer.

But we need to be in a better place next summer. Last year was the worst on record for wildfires. This year will surpass it.

We need to accept our climate has changed and put in place measures to adapt and one of those is banning the use of disposable barbecues in public places.

With the Prime Minister’s support on this, we can reduce the risks of wildfire and protect our precious environmentAndy Burnham says single use charcoal grills are raising the risks of fires

I'm pleased that, after raising concerns on behalf of local residents, we were able to help secure the removal of an abandoned vehicle from Miry Meadow.

Small issues can have a big impact on a neighbourhood, and I'm glad my team and I were able to help bring this matter to a successful conclusion for local residents.

If you need help with an issue, my team and I are here to help.

Great to see the Pennine Care Centre in Glossop bringing residents, families and staff together for a fantastic summer BBQ.☀️

It sounds like everyone had a brilliant afternoon, with live entertainment, a BBQ, an ice cream parlour and even a visit from some very special Shetland ponies! 🐴🍦

I was pleased to have Councillor Stewart Gardner from my office there to represent me and meet residents, families and staff.

A wonderful example of the community spirit at Pennine Care Centre - thank you to everyone who helped make the event such a success.
