From March to August 2020 I was involved with the distribution of SOFEA food boxes at Greenleys shops, and saw the desperate situation many people were facing, and this inspired me to step up to the mark to see if I could improve things for my area. I have lived in Greenleys for seven years, and when I am asked where I live I answer "Greenleys". Quite often their reaction is "Oh Dear!" I want to change that to "Wow, you are lucky".

As a councillor I hope to focus on Law and Order, and forge a strong link with our local police force. I hope I can make a difference, but cannot do it alone. If everyone did one small thing, no matter how insignificant it seems, the change in our situation would be great.

Hello, my name is Beatrice and I have lived in Milton Keynes for over 12 years now and enjoy living in my area. Currently I work for a trust that supports people with learning disabilities, and I have had the experience of working in homeless shelters and supported mother and child units, including shelters that support people with alcohol and substance abuse.

My work experience has instilled in me a strong desire to improve the lives of individuals and communities, I have been fortunate enough to work and collaborate with many people from different ethnic and diverse backgrounds, facing unique challenges that has given me a deep understanding of the social and economic forces that affect our communities and individuals.

My special interests are in families, children and promoting the wellbeing and growth of my community. My passion is my family and good family values, safeguarding children and vulnerable people in our communities and promoting public health, growth and wellbeing.

I am excited at the prospect of being part of the community, where I can advocate for change and work towards solutions that are sustainable, making a positive impact to my community. I look forward to learning and growing alongside my community and sharing ideas, insights and experiences to better the world we live in, and give back to the community I live in.

I was originally a Buckinghamshire County Councillor from 1989 and then elected to the Unitary Authority when it was formed in 1996/7. Soon after I became a Town Councillor and stepped down from my other roles to concentrate on the Town Council. I have always wanted to try and improve life for everybody, especially where I live.

Kiran Kanwar

Email Cllr Kanwar

I have been a public servant for over 20 years, and my time as a public servant has given me invaluable experience which I hope to bring as a local parish councillor.

I wanted to join the Parish Council because I was keen to be a councillor who engages with the community. I initiated the local residents meeting because I really want to hear about the specific issues which concern residents, and I would encourage more residents to join the meetings.

I used to live in London but since moving to Wolverton I have been able to appreciate the benefits of living in a more rural area. I hope I will be able to have influence on some of the issues that concern residents.

I am slowly becoming a keen gardener and hope to be joining a horticulture course soon.

Email Cllr Qureshi

Hello I’m Khubaib, but you can call me Eddie. I was born in Wolverton and went to school locally, so I know the town well. I wanted to become a councillor to help my community and to engage with young people as I felt like there wasn’t much support for young people in our community and a lack of role models. I’m only 19 myself!

I am a jeweller and work in the jewellery shop in The Square, Wolverton. In my spare time I like to further my knowledge by completing online courses; in September I will be starting another jewellery making course at the British Academy of Jewellery in London.

I also do a lot of charity work; in 2021 I helped run a charity raising funds for food packages and overall support for Syria and in 2022 I did the same for Palestine. Please say hi if you see me around.

From a young age its been instilled in me to become a part of whichever community I find myself in with great fulfilment and purpose. As a result, I am actively involved in several community projects within MK and its surrounding areas.

I became a councillor with the aim of ensuring that anyone who meets me is signposted to the right services and to that people’s views are heard. During my speech I asked the following question: Do you believe like I do, that all of us deserve the opportunity to bring out the best from our respective communities? Not second best, the best. This has become my driving force in everything I do when serving the Wolverton & Greenleys community. I’ve lived in Old Wolverton for over five years and strongly believe
this is the time for me to give back to the community.

I enjoy singing and writing music, spending time with my dog, always on the lookout for a good movie to watch, working in the early years no day is the same.

I wanted to make a difference to my community in a new way. I have always wanted to give my best in the community that I belong to. I have been involved in some community projects in the past such as reaching out to the homeless and visiting elderly people’s home to distribute parcels and gifts. It has always been my aspiration to lend a helping hand to people.

As well as serving my community, part of my reasons for becoming a councillor is to identify and pursue the interest of the people in the local area. Also, as a councillor, ensuring that people get the right service at the right time and making sure their views are heard is important to me.
