Councillor Sufia Alam
Councillor and Candidate
Born and raised in Tower Hamlets, I have seen first hand the daily challenges we as a community have faced. It has been a privilege to have served residents as the youngest Councillor since 2018.
As Children and Education scrutiny lead, I changed policy around secondary school exclusions locally, securing over £150,000 of funds to facilitate proactive, preventative measures. My work raised national awareness too. As Mayoral Advisor, I have advocated on matters relating to youth services, domestic violence & our post Covid-19 recovery plans.
As a first time mum, I understand the struggles families are currently facing, due to the pandemic and Tory austerity. I am passionate about making Bethnal Green West cleaner, safer, greener & more community led.
