Protecting our environment is an issue incredibly close to my heart. The Peak District is a special place and we must conserve it for future generations.

As a chartered accountant, working in retail, I have first-hand experience of the challenges facing our high streets. I support reducing business rates for small business as well as preserving the unique character of our town centres.

Access to health services in the High Peak isn’t good enough. That’s why improving local access to healthcare is a top priority of mine. I have long campaigned for a major new healthcare centre in the High Peak.

We need to keep the economy strong and maintain sound public finances so that we can properly fund our public services in future; increasing school budgets in real terms to give every child the best start in life; and giving our police the resources they need to tackle crime and antisocial behavi

Over the last few decades, governments of all parties have failed to invest properly in transport infrastructure in places like the High Peak.

One of my top priorities is to improve the High Peak’s access to ultrafast broadband and reliable mobile phone coverage across the High Peak.
