Councillor Leema Qureshi
Councillor
I believe all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities, but having lived all my life in Tower Hamlets, I have witnessed how the people of Tower Hamlets have been neglected, betrayed and squeezed out of Tower Hamlets by the corporate protagonists, which has strengthened and solidified my belief in social justice. As a consequence, I will be fighting for a fairer and more egalitarian society. Poverty is the root cause of inequality and crime, I will be focusing on eradicating poverty and crime.
I will endeavour to provide meaningful representation in Tower Hamlets and I will be working to deliver:
-
Quality education and training
-
Safer borough
-
Cleaner borough
-
Greener borough
-
More social housing
-
More corporate social responsibilities
-
Accessible community centres
-
Homework clubs for children
-
Adequate parents centres
-
Women empowerment programmes
-
Involving local people in local decision makings
-
Better car parking for all
I will make sure your concerns are my concerns; I will be your approachable, responsive and responsible representative; and I will run regular surgeries where you will be able to raise your concerns face-to-face with me.
