Mohammed Bashir - Local Election Candidate for Maybury and Sheerwater

Mohammed Bashir is married with four children and he has lived in Maybury & Sheerwater for 15 years. He is a local Businessman. His children all go to school locally. He has been an active member within the local community's affairs for many years and thus has a good solid experience of its issues and concerns.

As a resident in the ward he feels able to serve you as an effective Councillor should you elect him. He says:

"I have a passion for helping people who need it. This is what I have always done wherever I have lived. I serve on the Woking Shah Jehan mosque committee as well as a local welfare association. I have actively worked to improve our community even if it has been simply a matter of reporting litter or vandalism to the local authorities."

"The reason I have decided to put myself forward as a councilor for this ward is that I feel that it has been poorly served by some of the current councilors who don't appear to be listening to or engaging with the residents concerns.

I want to represent all the sections of the community but to do this I need to listen to your concerns first. In the coming weeks I will be attempting to meet as many of you as possible to get yours views."

"I want to be your local voice in the council so that I can help each and everyone from the young to the elderly, the disabled, the disadvantaged, and the deserving as well as support the local business community."
