Newly elected councillor Samina Safdar and fellow Liberal Democrat councillor Farooq Qureshi at the count result.

Dear Forest Ward Residents, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to represent you. In electing me as your Liberal Democrat councillor, you have put your trust in me to work hard and to ensure that we have a strong voice on Waltham Forest Council. I promise that I will not let you down. It is now time to look forward to the future. I, alongside my fellow Liberal Democrat councillor Farooq Qureshi, will continue to fight hard for our community and address the issues which you have told us about, such as crime, offices and our local environment.Thank you once again for electing me.
