It is both an honour and a privilege for Shazna Muzammil to stand as the Conservative candidate for Birmingham Ladywood, a place that holds cherished memories from her childhood and where she has often brought her own children. Her journey into politics was driven by a simple, albeit cliché, desire to make a tangible difference in people’s lives, irrespective of their political affiliations.
Her volunteer work with young offenders in custody marked a critical turning point, highlighting the urgent need for robust support systems for youth. This experience propelled her to successfully run for the local council, where she has strived to enact meaningful change.
Over the past 14 years under Labour leadership, Shazna has witnessed the constituency of Birmingham Ladywood suffer from neglect and mismanagement: a bankrupt council, an invisible MP, and rising knife crime under a Labour Police and Crime Commissioner. This has left the streets unsafe, the neighbourhoods dirty, and the community spirit diminished. She is determined to reverse this decline and restore pride and prosperity to the community.
Here’s her plan to bring about the change Birmingham Ladywood deserves:
Strengthening the Local Economy: Economic vitality is foundational to community well-being. Shazna is committed to securing necessary investments that will create high-quality jobs and support local businesses, ensuring a prosperous economy that benefits everyone in Ladywood.
More Police for Safer Streets and Communities: Public safety is paramount. She will advocate for increased police presence and resources to tackle crime effectively, ensuring that the streets are safe for all residents.
Regeneration and Housing: Prioritizing the needs of residents is key to successful regeneration. Shazna will focus on upgrading council homes to meet decent living standards and push for developments that respect the community’s needs and heritage.
Saving Our Libraries and Investing in Education: Libraries are hubs of learning and community activity. Shazna will fight not only to save our libraries but also to extend their services. Investing in educational programs and skills training will provide both youth and adults with better opportunities for the future.
Combatting Fly-Tipping and Making Our Area Clean and Tidy for All: Fly-tipping and litter blight beautiful areas, affecting community health and pride. She will implement stringent measures to keep neighbourhoods clean and tidy, ensuring that Ladywood is a welcoming place for all its residents.
Ending Homelessness and Rough Sleeping: Every individual deserves a safe place to call home. Shazna is dedicated to eliminating homelessness in Ladywood by working with local organisations to provide suitable and sustainable accommodation options.
Shazna Muzammil’s commitment to the residents of Birmingham Ladywood is simple but unwavering: honesty, decency, integrity. As their representative, she will always show up for them, speak up for them, and stand by them. This is essential for reviving Birmingham Ladywood, making it a place where every resident is proud to call home.
Shazna is blessed to have the support of her family, which allows her to dedicate herself fully to these causes. She hopes the community will join her in this endeavour to transform Birmingham Ladywood for the better. Get in touch, join the campaign, and help do everything possible to restore the glory of this wonderful constituency. This is all of our journey.
