My name is Dr.

Full statement

Shafqat Bashir and I am a Consultant Paediatrician at Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, Lincolnshire, where I have worked for several years now. I live with my wife Abida and our three children aged 10, 14 and 17 and we have made Boston our home. We decided to put down roots here due to the good schools, the slower pace of life and the picturesque rural countryside.

I am honoured to be a Boston Independent candidate for St. Thomas ward.

In addition to my Hospital job I have been involved in various social activities such as arranging Community Charity Events. In the near future I am also arranging an upcoming Mega-event to celebrate our Pakistan Cultural Day and this will be for all the residents of Boston and indeed the whole of Lincolnshire to enjoy.

I love this Borough and I want all the residents to be able to thrive, to be content and to live a good life, however, since moving to Boston, I have seen a clear and gradual deterioration in living standards, ever-increasing fly tipping, failing small businesses and a rise in antisocial behaviour. I want to be part of the solution that addresses these problems.

I aim to help Boston and its residents to live in a better and safer place, increase businesses locally for the retailers and attract people and new businesses back into our beautiful town.

Please vote for Dr. Shafqat Bashir and the other Boston Independent Candidates on May 4th, 2023 so that together, we can bring much needed change to Boston.
