Yours,
Working with all communities
Walthamstow is a vibrant, cohesive, multicultural, multi-faith community where over one hundred different languages are spoken. Each ward in Walthamstow has many communities, and thanks to years of hard work by local activist and members, the Liberal Democrats have very strong support from all communities. But we need to gain more members and activists from Walthamstow's many diverse communities, and in particular in wards where we have no Liberal Democrats councillors.
My personal background is very closely linked to Walthamstow. I moved into Walthamstow as a very young child and was educated here.
I grew up here and lived among the many ethnics communities that have made Walthamstow their home.
In Walthamstow:
- I have family members and friends from many different backgrounds and cultures
- I have worked with all the communities, faiths and age groups and have recruited many of them to our party
- I have worked with the Liberal Democrats locally, regionally and nationally, advising on multicultural and multifaith issues.
Locally, I was the first Asian to join the Liberal Democrats and then worked with the local party to recruit others. I was selected by the local party in 2004 as the Prospective Parlimentary Candidate
and in the 2005 General Election near doubled the popular vote for the Liberal Democrats across all communities.
I would be honoured to be selected as your Parliamentary Candidate again.
