Biography

Mark studied theology at university. After a spell as a Franciscan novice he worked as a journalist on local newspapers and radio, including a few years as a press officer for an overseas aid agency. For the last 25 years he has made his living as an actor. It was the climate emergency that spurred him to stand for election to the Forest of Dean District Council in 2019. He lives with his family near Lydney where he is a ward councillor.

Motivation

The goal is to enable our communities here in the Forest to thrive in a way which enables future generations to thrive too. To do that, we have to meet the serious challenges posed by the climate and nature emergencies. Whatever else we might want to do we need a planet to do it on.
