Independent

VOTE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE, HUSSAIN MOHAMMED SAHED for LONGBRIDGE WARD I, Mohammed Sahed Hussain – known to many simply as Sahed. I am standing as an *Independent Councillor Candidate* in the 7th May election to represent the LONGBRIDGE Ward. I am a proud resident of Longbridge — a husband, a father, and, by profession, Social Services Care Manager serving our community every single day. My professional life is built on listening, advocating, and delivering for people who need a strong voice. ​ That is what I will do ifI am elected. My Promise: I have decided to *donate 100% of my councillor allowance* to the community for the full four‑year term. This will be known as the *Longbridge Community Fund*, which will be managed by community representatives nominated by you. This fund is my way of expressing appreciation to the community that has supported and guided me to become who I am today. This money will be - spent to hire private cleaners to keep our neighbourhood litter free. - support local initiatives providing vital services for the elderly & youth. I will also: - open a SATURDAY LUNCH CLUB for our parent, fully funded by me, regardless of the outcome of upcoming election. - continue with my litter picking that takes in excess of 40 hours every month, regardless of the outcome on 7th May. If elected, I will: - Come to you to listen and act — you will not have to look for me - Run quarterly community meetings to report back, listen, and act - Hold regular surgeries so every resident has direct access to me. I would like to ask all my Longbridge Ward friends and neighbours, for your support in giving me this opportunity to serve you. If I fail to deliver my promises, you have the chance to ousted me on next election. Best wishes HUSSAIN Mohammed Sahed INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE LONGBRIDGE WARD LONDON BOROUGH OF BARKING & DAGENHAM
