Mike Martin MP

Mike Martin MP is the Liberal Democrat MP for Tunbridge Wells. He is a member of both the Defence Select Committee and the Joint Committee on National Security Strategy.

Mike is campaigning to revitalise the town centres of Tunbridge Wells and Paddock Wood—more leisure, retail and hospitality businesses and more for youngsters to do. He is also committed to getting the right infrastructure built for existing residents and new houses. That means more investment to upgrade our local water network and increase capacity at our local Water and Wastewater Treatment Works. It also means having enough GP surgeries and school places.

Mike is a former British army officer who served multiple tours in Helmand, Afghanistan. Since leaving the army, he has also had other leadership roles, including as a senior executive in a global charity working to bring different people and organisations together to solve problems.

Mike is a Senior Fellow at King’s College London – an expert in geopolitics and conflict – and the author of several books on psychology, conflict and travel.
