The beautiful High Peak is the most north westerly corner of Derbyshire, nestling between the cities of Manchester and Sheffield.  The High Peak covers a wide area taking in rural villages, urban towns and areas of heavy industry. Buxton is a spa town and is home to some of the most magnificent buildings in England.  The Buxton Campus of the University of Derby is based in the refurbished Devonshire Hospital, famous for its superb dome.

 

The Liberal Democrat base is wide across the High Peak but presently at its strongest around the towns of New Mills, Whaley Bridge and Chapel-en-le-Frith.

 

At present we hold two Derbyshire County Council seats; the seat covering the electoral ward of New Mills & Hayfield, together with the seat covering Whaley Bridge & Blackbrook.  On the Borough Council we hold six seats,  the Council is run by Conservatives who hold twenty four seats.
