Councillor Sabina Akthar
Councillor for Stepney Green and Chief Whip of the Labour Group
I’ve been grateful to the Stepney Green Ward constituents for their support and trust to represent them as councillor. I am proud to be the first female Bangladeshi speaker of Tower Hamlets, where I was born and brought up.
My priorities are to reduce ASB and create a safer neighbourhood environment, delivering support for our young people to be given opportunities, and ensuring all our education and health needs are met. I have raised issues concerning my local residents and taken on challenges that have been difficult at times, but continued to be a strong voice for my residents.
