Vaseem Ahmed
Redbridge Independents candidate for Barkingside
Redbridge Independents
I am standing as an independent candidate for Barkingside because our community needs strong local representation, not party politics. I have lived here nearly 20 years and raised my family locally. After a senior private sector career, I founded a business and served residents through community work. I will fight crime, overdevelopment, traffic and council failures.
