Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Javed, Mohammed

I was elected as a councillor to Stockton Borough Council in May 2007. I am the first Asian to be elected as a councillor in Stockton which is a historic change for Stockton. I work supporting people with learning disabilities; a job which gives me great pleasure helping disadvantaged people and improving their quality of life.

I am a member of the housing and community safety select committee and also the appeals and complaints committee. I am on the board of the International Family Centre and the Corner House Project which deals with youth in Stockton. I am also on the board of the Neighbourhood Management Pathfinder. I am also a governor of Mill Lane School in Stockton.

I support many charities, including Healing hand which is building houses in Kashmir after the earthquake there three years ago. We raised over £80,000 with the help of the people of Stockton and of Stockton Borough Council.

I am a member of the Mosque Committee and we are in the process of building the first purpose built designed Mosque in Stockton-on-Tees which is the first of it's kind in Teesside.

I am married and live with my wife and three children in my ward. I enjoy watching my favourite sports; cricket, football and tennis. I particularly like watching Wimbledon.

I came into politics because I like to serve people and I love to meet people from different backgrounds but most importantly of all I like to help people.
