"In it to change it"

Effective

Layla led an effective General Election campaign in a marginal seat in 2010. The vote was successfully increased despite a strong squeeze campaign by the other major parties. In 2009 she ran a campaign to save a community centre. She mobilised the community and presented a petition signed by 1750 residents to the council. As a result, the council changed their position and kept the centre open.

Experienced

Layla is an experienced candidate and activist. She stood as the Parliamentary Candidate in nearby Battersea where she was subsequently Chair of the Local Party. She is also an elected member of the International Relations Committee and Vice-Chair of the Parliamentary Candidates Association.

Credible

Layla is a physics teacher by profession and Head of Year at a Secondary school in Westminster. She was born in Hammersmith and read Physics at Imperial College; living in Kensington for three years. She knows this part of London and cares about its future.
