Cllr. Ahmed
Omer
Ahmed has lived in the area for all of his life, is a family man
and the son of a Second World War sea veteran. As a councillor he
has helped residents improve their lives and provided them with
more opportunities on a variety of issues. In particular, he has
worked hard to secure adequate housing and helped residents to gain
financial independence through education and employment
training.
In becoming the first Somali Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Ahmed believes
he has set an example to local people from all ethnic communities
that they can integrate and succeed if they contribute to the
area’s development. Above all, he is proud to be a councillor and
represent the concerns and voices of our fellow
residents.
