Don’t be Scammed this Christmas: Call 159
If you are concerned about a phone call from your bank and think you are being contacted by a fraudster or scammer, call 159. 159 is a safe way to contact your bank and most banks have signed up to this scheme. When calling 159, you will be taken through a menu in which each bank taking part in the scheme is read aloud for you to select. But be aware that scammers sometimes keep the line open, play a ringtone and then answer as your bank. To be sure, it’s best to use another phone or ring a different number first.

Our local NHS services are under threat

Nine vital services from Buxton hospitals, including Ophthalmology, ENT; Rheumatology; Gynaecology; Urology; Respiratory Care; Surgical; Diabetes and the Pain Clinic are being considered for removal to Stepping Hill. These services save lives, ease suffering, and support thousands of families in Buxton and across the wider High Peak. For the moment, Jon Pearce, MP, has secured a pause on these plans and now asks for your help to save these services for the future by signing his petition and sharing your reasons for retaining them. You can sign his petition here.
