🎬 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.

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.

🔥 I'm pleased to say that Co-op, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Asda have all responded to my correspondence and confirmed they will remove disposable BBQs from sale.

This is a really positive step that will help reduce the risk of devastating wildfires across the country.

With hotter, drier summers becoming more common, we all have a role to play in protecting our countryside and communities. I want to thank these retailers for listening and taking action.

I'm still waiting to hear from Morrisons,Home Bargains, Iceland Foods, B&M Stores, Yorkshire Trading Company, Amazon.co.uk, The Range, Homebase, Poundland and Poundstretcher.

I'm continuing to call on all major retailers to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs across the UK.

Together, we can help prevent avoidable fires before they start. 🌿🔥

It was a pleasure to visit Ferodo in Chapel-en-le-Frith and get a behind-the-scenes look at what they do.

Manufacturing is a vital part of our local economy, and I'm committed to supporting businesses like Ferodo that provide high-quality jobs and invest in the future of the High Peak.

Thank you to everyone at Ferodo for the warm welcome and for taking the time to show me around.

The M67 has closed in both directions between J3 Hyde and J4 WoolleyBridge due to a Police led incident.

Due to the nature of the incident, the road is likely to remain closed throughout the day.

The A628 Manchester Road also remains closed this morning between Mottram Road and Flouch due to a serious collision that happened last night.
