The meeting focused on promoting the High Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands area, highlighting its appeal for both residents and visitors, and discussing career opportunities within the local council.

The area is described as a special place at the heart of the country with bustling market towns, picturesque villages, and vibrant communities rich in culture and heritage. The natural landscapes of the Peak District are a significant draw for outdoor activities. The region is easily accessible from cities like Manchester, Sheffield, and Stoke-on-Trent.

Tourism is a major focus, with attractions such as Buxton's natural mineral water and the Georgian Crescent, now a five-star thermal spa hotel. The area's architecture, including Pigeon and its strong links to the arts and crafts movement, also attract visitors. The region is popular with tourists, activity lovers, and thrill-seekers who visit year-round to enjoy the outdoors and local hospitality.

The meeting also highlighted the strategic alliance between High Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands, which offers a wide range of career opportunities. This alliance allows for a shared workforce that delivers services to both areas, each with its own borough and corporate plans and priorities. Employees appreciate the variety of work, which is seen as beneficial for professional development.

The benefits package for council staff includes family-friendly and flexible employment options, well-being support, learning and development opportunities, and work perks such as leisure access and the cycle-to-work scheme. The meeting concluded with an invitation for people to join the council workforce and make a lasting impact in the region.
