Mark has a proven record of action for local people in the Cheadle Constituency over many years both as leader of the local Council and working alongside Patsy Calton.

Along with Patsy Calton, Mark has played a leading role in moving forward the vital long awaited A555 link road that will do much to tackle congestion across our area. Mark has also helped get more police on patrol locally and clean up our local streets.

Under Mark's leadership, the Council has become the leading Metropolitan Council for recycling in the country. New measures to protect our heritage and to tackle the problems of infill development have also been introduced.

As our new local MP, Mark will be a hard working and effective MP who will really get things done for local people.

As well as fighting for local people on issues like the vital A555 link, more police and fairer funding for local schools, Mark will also speak out on big national issues.

Mark Hunter said, "I will fight to abolish Labour's tuition fees and the unfair Council Tax. I will continue to demand the truth from Tony Blair about his war in Iraq. I also hope to speak up for our environment - which has been ignored by Conservative and Labour Governments."
