About Saqhib Ali

I will waive my attendance allowance of £11,220 if elected, donating it to local good causes.

  • Reduce the council tax, ensuring Central Bedfordshire delivers the promised cost savings for the new unitary authority.
  • Preserve and create jobs in our local economy, steering our community through the current economic downturn- securing grants and support for local businesses and start-ups.
  • I stood as a local Independent Prospective Parliamentary Candidate in 2005, as I believe passionately in bringing change, opportunity and better facilities to our area.
  •  

  • I have lived in the parish for over 11 years, and in Bedfordshire for 30 years.
  • My children have attended Maulden Lower School, of which I am a Governor, and both will be at Alameda Middle School, Ampthill.
  • Village schools must be preserved whatever the outcome in the 3 tier vs 2 tier debate. Our schools are the “hearts” of our villages.
  • Protecting our rural nature, keeping out urban creep of the Wixams development, Ampthill, and Milton Keynes.
  • Protect and improve village facilities- Post Offices, Shops, Parks & Pubs.
  • We must improve community facilities like Village halls, allotments, children’s recreational facilities, and Youth Clubs.
  • Improve road safety, such as pedestrian crossings and 20 mph zones, especially around schools & nurseries.
  • Improve our Transport links, with regular, cheaper and “greener” buses and trains.
  • Work with Police to increase patrols and reduce crime.
  • Improved, high quality services, schooling, safe roads, affordable “greener” housing, curb green-field developments, free social services & heath-care
