On the day that Conservatives announced the manifesto, Mark was out and about again. First in Far Forest to meet with local residents worried about their local environment, and then into Bewdley to meet with local shop owners.
"There is no doubt about it," said Mark, "shop owners have had a hard time as a result of the recession and the knocks that the town has taken from road works. Yet Bewdley is a real jewel with tremendous potential. That is why a town like Bewdley is desperate for an MP that takes an interest in it and understands how important business is to its future."
