Mark Ereira-Guyer (sometimes known as Mark Ereira - his wife's surname is Guyer[1]) is the Green party's Suffolk county councillor for Tower division in Bury St Edmunds.[2] In the 1997 general election for the Bury St Edmunds constituency he lost by only 368 votes (0.7% of those cast) to the new Conservative candidate David Ruffley. This was the nearest that anyone had got to overturning the Conservative majority at least since 1935[3], even in those elections when there was only a single anti-Conservative candidate[4].For 10 years he was a Labour councillor (and sometime Labour group leader and cabinet member)[5] on St Edmundsbury Borough Council before joining the Green Party[6] [7]. In 2009 he was elected in that capacity to Suffolk County Council,[8][9] where he is the Green and Independent spokesperson on children, schools and young people's issues. He stood unsuccessfully in the general elections of 1997, 2001 and 2010; in 2011 he lost his borough council seat to independent candidate Paul Hopfensperger.[10]
Mark Ereira-Guyer attended The King's School, Ely, and Kent University[11]where he gained a B.A. (hons) in Government & Politics[12]. He has lived in Bury St Edmunds with his family since 1993, where he runs his own charity consultancy business[13], having previously worked in the charity sector [14]. In August 2011 he was the subject of an article in The Daily Telegraph.[15]
