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. ...

An update on the wildfire on Tintwistle Moor 👇
Thank you to all those who are still at the scene tackling the fireUPDATE: Firefighters remain on Tintwistle Moor this afternoon (Sunday 28th June) as they continue to tackle the major wildfire that has been burning since Wednesday night (24th June).
In an update issued at 2pm, Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service said crews from across Derbyshire and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service returned to the moor at around 6am and are continuing to work with partners from the Peak District Fire Operations Group (FOG) to bring the incident "to the quickest and safest conclusion".
The service said crews have faced "extremely challenging conditions" since firefighting operations began, with changes in wind speed and direction contributing to flare-ups.
Visible flames remain on Tintwistle Moor, with the fire continuing to burn deep within the peat bogs, making firefighting operations more difficult.
Specialist resources, including two helicopters, one provided by United Utilities, are supporting crews on the ground.
The Pennine Way between Crowden, north to Black Hill is currently closed to ensure public safety due to helicopter operations in close proximity. This is part of the same incident.
Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service is urging members of the public to continue following advice and avoid the area.

Their professionalism, courage and commitment in incredibly challenging conditions have helped protect our communities and our countryside.
Thank you for everything you do. ... See MoreSee Less

In the 12 months to December 2025, just under 5,500 offences were recorded across our constituency (excluding fraud) – a 5% decrease compared to the previous year.
These figures are encouraging and reflect the hard work of our police officers, PCSOs and support staff who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.
We're also seeing more investment in policing, with Derbyshire Police employing 2,123 officers as of September 2025 – an increase on the previous year.
There's always more to do, but it's positive to see crime falling in the High Peak while police numbers continue to grow. I'll keep working with Derbyshire Constabulary , local councils and community groups to ensure residents feel safe and supported wherever they live in our constituency. ... See MoreSee Less

With the summer holidays fast approaching and more people enjoying the countryside as it gets warmer, it's important that dog owners know the rules around livestock and understand the impact that livestock worrying can have on farmers and animal welfare.
Even the friendliest dog can cause distress, injury or worse if it chases sheep or other farm animals. That's why it's so important to keep dogs under control and follow local signage when out walking.
The law has recently been strengthened to better protect livestock, giving police greater powers to investigate attacks and hold irresponsible owners to account.
The High Peak is home to some of the country's most beautiful countryside, and by acting responsibly we can all help protect our farmers, our animals and our rural communities.
Please take a moment to read the information in the graphic and share it with fellow dog owners. ... See MoreSee Less

Like many dads across High Peak, I'll be cheering on the Three Lions and hoping football really does come home this summer.
But while I can't do much about the football, I am working with The Dad Shift, Movember and other MPs to push for something else dads want to see: better paternity leave.
At just two weeks, the UK has one of the least generous paternity leave offers in Europe. That's not good enough for dads, mums or children.
New fathers deserve the time to support their partners, care for their children and be the positive role models they want to be.
So as we all hope for an England win this weekend, I'll keep campaigning for a better deal for parents too. ⚽👶 ... See MoreSee Less

Yesterday I had a meeting with High Peak Borough Council, where I raised the concerns that so many residents and families have shared with me about the proposed closure of the Carelink service.
I made clear just how important Carelink is for many elderly, disabled and vulnerable people across the High Peak. For those who rely on it every day, it provides reassurance, independence and peace of mind.
During our discussion, I asked for further updates on what support will be available for those affected.
I know many people remain anxious about what happens next, and I will continue to press for answers, hold the Council to account and keep residents updated as more information becomes available.
If you or a loved one use Carelink and have concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch with my office.
