Cllr Mark Merryweather

Name: Cllr Mark Merryweather

Ward: Farnham Moor Park (Borough & Town Council)

Bio: I’m Mark Merryweather, a local Liberal Democrat who’s lived in Frensham with my family for over 20 years. I’m a former governor of St.Mary’s school, Frensham, where my kids went to school and a current governor at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. Since 2019, I’ve been honoured to serve on Farnham Town Council and Waverley Borough Council, prioritising the needs of our local community. A consistent champion for improving our infrastructure, I helped secure Farnham’s new GP practice. I work to preserve and enhance our cherished green spaces and stand firm against unsustainable developments that threaten our environment and way of life. With decades of international business experience, I bring a focus on competence, responsibility and accountability to public service. As WBC’s finance portfolio holder I’ve successfully navigated Council finances through the challenges of Covid and the cost of living crisis and I’m proud that Waverley will be perhaps the strongest and most stable Council joining the new Unitary. Collaboration is at the heart of my approach and am proud to have worked across political divides and with diverse stakeholders to deliver tangible benefits for our residents.
