Hello, I am Shockat Adam, and I am honoured to be your independent candidate for Leicester South.

Full statement

My roots run deep in this city, having been raised, educated, and now working here. Leicester South isn’t just a place where I conduct business; it’s my heart , home, and commitment.

For over 15 years, I have been privileged to serve our community through my award-winning optical practice and my community work. This has given me a unique perspective on our city’s challenges and opportunities. I have witnessed firsthand the struggles of hard-working individuals and families as they try to make ends meet in the face of a rising cost of living. I have seen the strain on our NHS as it copes with increasing demand and limited resources. I have watched local businesses, our economy’s backbone, struggle to survive in an increasingly competitive market. I have seen the impact of neglect on our environment as we fail to take the necessary steps to protect and preserve it for future generations. But I also believe that Leicester South is a city of immense potential. We are a diverse and vibrant community, rich in culture and history. We have a strong sense of community spirit and a willingness to work together to overcome challenges. I believe that by harnessing these strengths and working together, we can build a brighter future for our city.

As your representative, I am committed to putting the needs of Leicester South first. I will not be beholden to party politics or special interests. My loyalty lies with you, the people of Leicester South. I will listen to your concerns, advocate for your needs, and work tirelessly to ensure that our city is a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. I am passionate about creating a fairer, more inclusive, and prosperous Leicester South. I believe that by working together, we can make this vision a reality. I am excited to embark on this journey with you, and I am confident that together, we can build a brighter future for Leicester South.

Please do not hesitate to contact me to share your concerns, ideas, or suggestions. I am here to listen, and I am here to serve you. Thank you for being so supportive, and I look forward to working with you to make Leicester South an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.
