Mark settled in Waverley with his family 15 years ago to continue a business career that had taken them to live and work around the world.

Full statement

He has been a passionate local community volunteer, charity trustee and school governor.

Over the last four years, Mark (right) has been the Waverley administration’s Finance portfolio-holder and, with substantial private sector business experience, he believes in basic financial competence. The Lib Dem-led council has balanced the budgets and maintained services with no cuts (and even supplemented them) despite unprecedented pressures. Mark will continue to speak out for areas like ours outside of Farnham’s town centre to be treated fairly.

These elections in May are for local government, but Farnham Town Council has wrestled with the impacts of wider issues like Brexit, Covid and inflation while maintaining, even expanding, its local events and facilities. It’s frustrating that the Council doesn’t have primary powers over most infrastructure, but we hold those who do to account.

Mark will continue speaking out against inappropriate development, and for the basics like road repairs and better from the Farnham Infrastructure Project. He work with all Councillors for Badshot Lea and Moor Park’s residents.
