Elected in 2019 Mark has been working with other Green Party councillors to respond to the climate and ecological emergencies, supporting measures to help the district become carbon neutral by 2030 and protect the environment.

He is involved in projects to improve biodiversity throughout the Forest, particularly in the way road verges and other grassland areas are managed.
