Mike Edwards

Hastings Borough Councillor - Ashdown Ward

Conservative Group Leader - Hastings Borough Council

Borough Councillors

I moved to East Sussex from Suffolk in 2002. After a career in the beer and oil industries I ran my own security business in Hastings. On retiring in 2010 I got involved in local politics and have represented Ashdown Ward since 2014. I also sit on Westfield Parish Council. I am married and have three adult children plus grandchildren.

I play some golf and enjoy travel, gardening and military history.
