Fiona Moinuddin
Labour candidate for Piccadilly
I live in the city centre with my husband and our dog, Annie. This is my home, and I’m standing because I want to make it a better place to live for the people who actually live and work here. I’ve been campaigning on the issues residents raise every day: cleaner streets, safer public spaces, tackling anti-social behaviour like dangerous e-bikes and parcel theft, and reporting things like fly-tipping and dodgy pavements that too often get ignored. I’ve also stood up for trans rights, raised money for humanitarian causes like the DEC’s Gaza appeal, and pushed for a more inclusive city where everyone feels they belong. My 5 pledges: 1. Four new city centre green spaces and parks 2. Build genuinely affordable housing for local people 3. Cleaner streets and better everyday services 4. Stand by Trans and LGBTQ+ people, making our city a safe and inclusive place 5. Standing up for Labour’s true democratic socialist values locally Manchester is growing fast, but it needs to grow in a way that works for the people who live here right now. I’m standing to be a councillor who shows up, listens, and gets things done.
