Ted 4 Bethnal Green West

Ted Maxwell-Independent Candidate

Standing for our community, not a political party

I’m invested in a better future for my kids

It’s easy to feel pessimistic but I believe our community can do great things when we work together

The people of Tower Hamlets are the best, but the council isn’t working well for us

I want to change that

Bethnal Green is home for my family. We have four children at local schools and becoming a parent has made me care more than ever about safety in our community.

In 2022 I started campaigning for safer streets in Tower Hamlets. I’m for streets that keep children safe, encourage people to feel confident walking, wheeling and cycling, and create space for everyone to meet and spend time. I do drive a car, but I think other ways to get around are important, too.

I can deliver improvements for residents because I’ve worked in a local council as a project manager, and I know what works and what doesn’t.

As an independent councillor, I will do what’s right, not what a party boss tells me to do.

The future I want to help build

+

Healthy, active residents, free from road danger

I’ve spoken to so many people who would love to walk and cycle more if they felt safe. I’ll push for more infrastructure for people to walk, wheel and cycle as well as drive.

+

One community

I’ll take every opportunity to listen. I want to hear about the views and concerns of residents across our community so we can find ways forward that work for all.

+

Better use of council money 

I’ll review council spending decisions and challenge any that don’t represent good value for the public.

Breaking free from poisonous party politics in Tower Hamlets

Tower Hamlets needs more independent councillors. The party system has not worked well here for decades and has held the borough back. I’ll be a voice for change.

Abul:

“Ted is the kind of person we really need on the council. He cares so much about this neighbourhood and the people here, and he knows how to make things happen.”

“When my family had a terrible catastrophe out of the blue, Ted and his family were there to support us. He’s really driven to make things better for others and he never gives up.”

Abdul:

“I’m so excited Ted has decided to stand for the council. He’s a great human being with a warm, kind heart and he cares so much about the wellbeing and health of others. He’s brave, and he’s a devoted husband and father to four beautiful children.”

“Hidden disability is an issue close to my heart and Ted understands how hard it can be for vulnerable people to travel around safely. He has worked relentlessly to make our streets safer and quieter, and I know he could do so much more as a councillor.”

Help me make Bethnal Green better. What improvements would you like to see in your street or neighbourhood?
