Amjad Hussain
Independent candidate for Newtown
Independent
I’m standing because Newtown deserves better. Safer streets, cleaner neighbourhoods, and services that actually work — not excuses and delays. I will listen, show up, and act. Not just during elections, but all year round. No politics. No noise. Just real work for local people. If you want change, I’m asking for your support.
