Map of the UK

Tressell is an electoral ward on the northern edge of Hastings, East Sussex, covering mainly residential neighbourhoods with a mix of older streets, post‑war estates and pockets of green space. Situated inland from the seafront, it contains local shops, schools and community facilities that serve a largely suburban population.

Named after Robert Tressell, author of The Ragged‑Trousered Philanthropists, the ward has a proud working‑class and community‑oriented character; neighbourhood groups and volunteering are active, and housing and regeneration initiatives periodically shape local life. Economically it is modest and diverse, with many residents commuting into the town centre or neighbouring towns while local culture reflects Hastings' broader coastal history and contemporary community projects.
