Maher Nassour
Independent candidate for Falconbrook
Independent
I care about the cost of living, decent housing, safe streets and properly funded local services. Decisions are made about us without us, instead, we need decisions about us, made by us. I’m a working-class candidate who’s had enough of a system that takes us for granted. While politicians treat us as votes, I’ve been on estates, in workplaces, and alongside residents. I believe in people power, I’m standing to give a voice to the voiceless and challenge a political class that has abandoned us. Battersea deserves more than promises, it deserves real power.
