Chingford & Woodford Green Community Independents

Help us create a new movement that will put people back at the centre of politics in Chingford & Woodford Green.

We aim to:

Support community groups, residents, and young people to take action and elevate them.

Hold monthly discussions to help foster understanding of the way the world works for some but not for others.

Bring the community together to create solutions for the issues constituents face.

Inspired by the events of the summer and ongoing discussions with local residents, we are launching Chingford & Woodford Green Community Independents, a grassroots group that aims to highlight local voices, issues, and initiatives that party politics continues to ignore.

Despite the election of a Labour government after 14 years of failed Conservative policies, many people still feel unrepresented. The two-party system continually fails to address issues faced by local people and puts party before community.

Our local, independent candidate, Faiza Shaheen, ran a campaign rooted in community, harnessed the energy for change that exists here and laid the groundwork for a Chingford & Woodford Green that works for everyone.

During the 2024 General Election, we caught a glimpse of what people-powered, community politics can achieve.
