Ted Maxwell
Independent candidate for Bethnal Green West
Active on State
Independent
I am a dad of four, a project manager and community organiser. I’ve spoken to 1,000s of people in the ward, knocking on doors, listening to their concerns and challenges. I am the only independent candidate to be a councillor in Bethnal Green West. A vote for me is a vote for change, a vote for a better way of doing politics in Tower Hamlets.
