Solution
Check Event Log
Reviewing the System logs on the Edge server show event ID 7024 errors logged:
The Lync Server Access Edge service terminated with the following service-specific error: A Certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider.
Download the certificate root server certificate for your Access Edge Server, I used GoDaddy cert for my Edge server so from the link below I have downloaded the root server certificate, and this resolved the issue.
