For many years, the East Southbourne & Tuckton Ward was represented by Eddie Coope and Malcolm Davies.

On behalf of HENRA, we would like to express our gratitude for the help and support provided to HENRA members.

Both of them have attended the vast majority of the HENRA meetings, thus giving members the opportunity to voice their opinions about local matters and also to receive updates on any local issues that had arisen.

Thank you both.
