Cllr Banner Mark
Chairman of the Council
Biography
Mark Banner was an UKIP councillor who served from 2005 to 2013. As a local businessman, his political focus was on town centre revitalization and economic development. He was a pragmatic and commercially-minded voice on the council, advocating for policies that would stimulate the local economy and support small businesses in Ambridge. Banner's professional background gave him a keen eye for the challenges facing the town's declining high street. He was a key figure in early discussions about urban renewal and worked to create a more business-friendly environment. His efforts to revitalize the town centre remain a crucial topic for the council today as it continues to grapple with this persistent problem.
