Mark Fairweather
Fairweathers have lived in Sussex for about 70 years , at least, and so it was always Mark's second home. Mark moved to Sussex in 1977 for University and stayed in the Brighton area for the next 19 years. Mark worked as a science teacher across Sussex, and commuting to London, before moving to teach abroad for 20 years but returning to Sussex almost every summer. Mark has been involved in community affairs for very nearly 50 years in a wide variety of roles. He has an active interest in a wide range of environmental matters. Mark joined the Young Liberals in 1975 and was politically active in Brighton from 1981 until he moved overseas in 1996. In this period he stood as candidate a number of times but he also helped the councillors and other candidates , including with some casework. At University Mark sat on the Accommodation Appeals Committee hearing hundreds of appeals over 4 years. From all of this you can see that Mark would make an active County Councillor working for all of the electors of Pevensey ( , Westham ) and Stone Cross division. The Fairweathers returned to UK full - time in 2017 and settled in the Pevensey area. They have a son who finished his primary education at Pevensey and Westham and who now attends a local secondary school so they have a very current interest in the local education system and Mark has resumed teaching in local colleges so he has even more insight.
