It’s been a worrying time with the grass fires in the Moorlands and many local residents contacted me with their concerns about “The Lights Fest” lantern festival that was due to take place at Buxton Raceway on 28th July.

Moorlands MP, Karen Bradley, donned a hard hat to help lay the building blocks of McCarthy and Stone’s brand new Portland Grange Retirement Living development on Portland Street in Leek.

I always tell my colleagues in Westminster about the many great food producers we have in the Moorlands and was delighted to be invited to visit Staffordshire Cheese Company in Cheddleton to find out first-hand how their award-winning cheeses are made.

Staffordshire Moorlands MP, Karen Bradley recognises and pays tribute to our extraordinary NHS staff as we celebrate the NHS’s 70th birthday.

Karen said,

Summer really seems to be here and although we all enjoy the lovely weather, I know that many local residents have been concerned about the problems we have had in the Moorlands with grass fires.

Local MP, Karen Bradley has written to both the organisers and the Police expressing her concerns about “The Lights Fest”, an event which is planned to take place at Buxton Raceway on 28th July.

Moorlands MP, Karen Bradley is asking local people to avoid the area near the former Mermaid Inn where firefighters are still damping down the incident. The fire has led to smoke drifting and people in areas affected by the smoke should keep doors and windows closed.

Following the very successful event in Leek earlier this year, local MP Karen Bradley was delighted to host another Staffordshire Moorlands Senior Tea Dance, this time in Biddulph.

As many of you know, I am committed to helping to reduce elderly loneliness and isolation in Staffordshire Moorlands.

Today the EU Withdrawal Bill received Royal Assent.

Last week, Parliament passed the EU Withdrawal Bill showing people in the UK, and to the EU, that the elected representatives in this country are getting on with the job and delivering on the will of the British people.
