More fly-tipping on Hayfield Road. It’s completely unacceptable that our communities are being left to deal with the mess and the damage it causes to our environment.

I’ll keep pushing for action to tackle fly-tipping across High Peak.

Residents have raised concerns about visibility and the speed of vehicles on Hayfield Road, and I’ve been pushing for action to make the road safer.

A recent assessment by Derbyshire County Council suggests that vehicle speeds on the A624 are a key concern, with faster-moving traffic catching up with vehicles as they join the road and begin the ascent.

The officer’s findings have now been submitted for review, with recommendations including a possible reduction in the speed limit and enforcement measures such as speed cameras.

These are important steps in the right direction, but I know residents want to see action.

I’ll continue to push for improvements to road safety and make sure the concerns of local people are heard.
✂️ Clean shave, ready for Movember!

I popped into a barbers in Chapel for one last shave before the moustache-growing begins! 🥸

Throughout November, I’ll be taking part in #Movember to help raise awareness of men’s health, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health.

It’s a great reminder to check in on the men in our lives, have those important conversations and never be afraid to ask for help.

Now, let’s see what the moustache looks like by the end of the month! 👨🏻 Movember UK
🌿 Earlier this week, I joined National Trust at Downing Street to hand over their petition calling on the Government to better protect nature and prepare for the growing threat of climate change.
✉️ A big thank you to the pupils at Charlesworth Primary School for sending me letters about saving Glossop Tip!

It’s brilliant to see young people getting involved in an issue that matters to their community. I’ll keep making the case for Glossop Tip to stay open. ♻️💚
Sudan is facing a humanitarian disaster, with around 13 million people displaced.

In the House of Commons, I asked what more the Government can do to raise awareness and galvanise international action.

The people of Sudan must not be forgotten. 🕊️

Last month, I brought together local charities and community organisations to hear more about the work they’re doing to support people across our area.

It was a great opportunity to meet those working tirelessly in our communities and hear about the challenges they’re facing, as well as how we can better support them.

Thank you to everyone who came along and for everything you do for our communities. 👏

Are you a carer, or do you look after a family member, partner or friend? ❤️

Goyt Valley Medical Practice is holding a Carers Day at its Whaley Bridge Practice on Wednesday 11 November, from 9.30am.

Two members of my team will also be there, so please do come along and say hello!

The event will offer free health checks for patients who are carers, alongside advice and support from a range of local services, including social prescribers, public health and community matrons.

🚆 I'm pleased to welcome an agreement between Northern Trains and the RMT which will bring an end to the long-running dispute over Sunday working and pave the way for the restoration of around 230 Sunday rail services across the North.

Since being elected, I've held numerous meetings with Northern to raise concerns about Sunday services, the impact of cancellations and the uncertainty faced by passengers across High Peak and the wider region.

I'm genuinely relieved to see an agreement finally reached. People should be able to rely on their railway seven days a week, whether they're travelling to work, visiting family and friends or heading into Manchester for a day out.

The phased return of services begins this month, with around 70 additional Sunday services expected each week by 13 December. All 230 services removed in December 2024 are expected to be restored by May 2027.

The agreement will also bring improvements to how the railway operates, including driver-controlled door release to help improve punctuality and make services more efficient.

As we move towards Great British Railways, we have an opportunity to build a railway that puts passengers and the communities it serves first, rather than shareholders.

The best way to end a busy day? A bedtime story with my girls! 📖❤️

Days like today are a reminder of just how important time with your children is. But for many new dads, getting that time isn’t always easy.

That’s why I’m supporting The Dad Shift, who are campaigning for better paternity leave in the UK.

Research by Movember UK found that 82% of fathers believe better paternity leave would be the single biggest thing the Government could do to support their mental health.

Dads deserve the time to bond with their children, support their partners and look after their own wellbeing too.

Today, as we remember those who have served and sacrificed for our country, it’s also important to remember those who continue to live with the physical and mental impact of their service.

Charities such as Combat Stress, Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion do vital work supporting veterans, serving personnel and their families, including those struggling with their mental health.

Looking after our Armed Forces community doesn’t stop when service ends. Let’s keep talking, listening and making sure no one feels they have to struggle alone.

Today, we remember them. ❤️
