Safina Aftab
For Sparkhill Council
Born and raised in Sparkhill, I know our community because I live it every day. I believe in showing up, listening properly, and taking practical action to make our area cleaner, safer, and stronger for everyone.
Vision, Issues, & Values
I want Sparkhill to be a place where people feel proud of where they live — clean streets, safe neighbourhoods, and a community that looks out for one another. My vision is simple: practical action, honest representation, and decisions that genuinely reflect the needs of local residents. I believe local government works best when councillors are visible, approachable, and accountable. Listening comes first, action follows.
I believe in honesty, accountability, and service. For me, community work is about showing up, following through, and doing what’s right even when it’s not easy.
I will always aim to represent Sparkhill with integrity, transparency, and a genuine commitment to improving everyday life for local people.
Cleaner, safer streets
Keeping our streets, parks, and shared spaces clean matters. I will support practical initiatives that tackle litter, improve waste management, and create safer public areas for everyone.
Listening to residents
Too often people feel ignored. I am committed to regular engagement with residents, understanding concerns properly, and raising issues clearly and consistently on their behalf.
Community cohesion
Sparkhill’s strength is its diversity. I will support initiatives that bring people together, encourage mutual respect, and strengthen community ties across all backgrounds.
