Ikem Chinedu
Conservative candidate for Alibon
Alibon deserves better. I've lived in Dagenham since 2004, and I'm standing to be your councillor because residents are being let down. Higher council tax. Dirtier streets. Rising parking fees. No accountability. I'm not a politician - I'm a safety‑critical professional who wants to bring responsibility and real representation back to Alibon ward. It's time for a councillor who listens and acts. It's time for change in Alibon. We need: * Safer, Clean Streets and Parks. * A freeze in Council Tax * Reversal of the 51% increase in the cost of Residents Parking Permits. * Only Essential CPZs (Controlled Parking Zones)
