Mark has lived with his family in Broadham Green for sixteen years and works as a senior lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London. He is joining the other two Tandridge District Councillors for Oxted South, OLRG's Deb Shiner and Bryan Black, in representing the ward.

As you know, the government intends to abolish district and borough councils in England in a major shake-up of local government. This includes Tandridge District Council. But until that happens, it is crucial to keep fighting for the best for our community and to work to set in place the best way forward for the future.
