Labour candidate for Northumberland Heath
Labour
I am a British Sikh resident living in the local area for over 42 years. I worked for over 33 years at the Hovis Bakery. Throughout this time, I have seen Northumberland Heath evolve and become the thriving community it is today. I am multilingual speaking fluent English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu. I have spent time speaking with local communities and I understand their needs. If I am elected as a councillor, I will work with a people-first mentality, ensuring our communities voices are heard.
