All candidate responses can be found linked on our candidate page
- Candidate Name: Mark Green
- Party: Stone Independents
- Election: Stone Town Council / Stafford Borough Council

The candidate’s biographies should cover this set of questions:
- Tell our readers about yourself
- What’s your personal statement about why you’re standing and what you want to do over the next 4 years
- Do you live in Stone, if not what’s your link to Stone and your reason for standing as Stone candidate?
Mark was first elected as a Stone Town Councillor in 2007 and had the honour of becoming Stone Town Mayor in 2008 and Deputy Mayor in 2010. He is now retired, having run a local bed and breakfast in Stone.
He believes that all green spaces in Stone should be retained for future generations to enjoy and will carry on campaigning until all roads in Walton are of a good standard.
In the last 8 years he has spent his spare time as a volunteer at Stone Stroke Club and Stone in Bloom amongst other organisations. As a Stone Independent councillor he can represent the people of Walton rather than a political party.
Mark says: ‘I live in Walton and care about Walton, that is why I ask for your support for Town Council elections.’
