Please use the contact form to get in touch with me. Please remember to provide as many details as possible, including your name, address and full details of your issue.
🎆 Fireworks can bring people together for celebrations, but they should be used responsibly.
Over the years, many residents across High Peak have raised concerns with me about the impact of fireworks on pets, young children, veterans and others who can find loud, unexpected explosions distressing.
That's why I welcome the Government's 12-week consultation reviewing fireworks legislation. It’s an opportunity to strike the right balance between protecting cherished celebrations and tackling anti-social and irresponsible use.
When this issue was debated in Parliament, I was proud to highlight a campaign led by my constituent Robert Branch, whose petition helped bring greater attention to the issue. As a fellow dog owner, I know just how important this is for many families across High Peak. 🐶
I’d encourage everyone with a view to take part in the consultation and help shape future rules around fireworks.

Watching my father disappear into Alzheimer’s is something my family will never forget. It is a story that, sadly, will feel painfully familiar to so many families across High Peak.
People often say that with Alzheimer’s and dementia you lose the person twice. First, as the illness slowly robs them of the person they once were, and then again when their body finally gives up after a long and cruel battle.
As heartbreaking as that is, it is often accompanied by another burden: the constant worry about how to provide the care they need, and how that care will be paid for.
For decades, social care has been the problem every politician acknowledges but no government has truly solved. Almost everyone agrees the system is broken. Yet whenever serious reform is proposed, the debate quickly descends into scare stories, political point-scoring and accusations of “death taxes”, leaving families exactly where they started.
That has to change.
Last week, Andy Burnham said he was prepared to spend political capital on fixing social care and to work with other political parties to build the consensus needed to make lasting reform possible.
I know this is deeply personal for Andy. His own father is living with Alzheimer’s. But long before that, as Health Secretary, he argued that social care should be valued alongside healthcare as an essential part of the system, not treated as an afterthought.
For too long, social care has been the forgotten partner of the NHS.
When we think about our health service, we rightly picture doctors, nurses and hospitals. But social care is every bit as vital. It helps older people remain independent, supports disabled adults to live fulfilling lives, gives families reassurance, and frees up hospital beds by helping people return home safely when they are ready.
When social care fails, the NHS feels the consequences. Hospital beds stay occupied, ambulance queues grow longer, families are left exhausted, and vulnerable people do not receive the support they deserve.
Years of underinvestment have left providers struggling to survive, care workers undervalued despite the extraordinary job they do, and families facing impossible choices at the most difficult moments of their lives.
Getting social care right is not simply about one public service. It is about making our entire health and care system work better.
Andy has instructed that the review of social care should report much sooner, with conclusions expected by this time next year. That gives us a real opportunity to have the honest, grown-up conversation the country has avoided for far too long.
As your MP, I will work with anyone - whatever their political party - who is serious about delivering the lasting reforms families deserve.
My father’s journey with Alzheimer’s will stay with me forever. It reinforced something I have always believed: every one of us deserves to grow old with dignity. Every family deserves the confidence that, when the time comes, good care will be there without fear, uncertainty or impossible financial decisions.
We’ve talked about fixing social care for long enough. It’s time we finally did it. ... See MoreSee Less

🌿 This is exactly why we need to take greater care when using disposable BBQs.
A disposable barbecue has left an area of grass badly scorched in a Derbyshire park, prompting Derbyshire Dales District Council to remind people of the damage they can cause - even when they don't start a wildfire.
That's why I've been calling on retailers to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs.
I'm pleased that a number of major retailers have already taken action, but there's still more to do.
If you're enjoying the outdoors this summer, please help protect our countryside:
❌ Don't use disposable BBQs.
🚭 Don't discard cigarettes.
🗑️ Take your litter home.
📞 If you spot a fire, call 999 immediately.
Let's all do our bit to protect our environment. ... See MoreSee Less

There will be no trains between Glossop/Hadfield and Manchester Piccadilly over the next two weekends as a major rail upgrade takes place👇There will be no trains between Glossop/Hadfield and Manchester Piccadilly over the next two weekends as a major rail upgrade takes place.
The Network Rail engineering work, taking place on Saturday 8th August to Sunday 9th August and Saturday 15th August to Sunday 16th August, will see new equipment installed at Guide Bridge as part of a significant investment to improve the reliability of the railway.
The upgrades involve work on a section of track that connects two lines, allowing trains to move more smoothly around the network in the future.
Rail replacement buses will operate throughout both weekends. An express replacement bus service will run between Manchester Piccadilly and Hadfield, although it will NOT call at Hattersley or Broadbottom.
A separate minibus service will run between Godley and Hadfield, stopping at all stations along the route.
Network Rail is advising passengers to allow extra time for their journeys and check travel arrangements before setting off. ... See MoreSee Less
