Parliamentary candidate for Leyton & Wanstead
I’m Councillor Shanell Johnson, the independent candidate for Leyton and Wanstead. I have lived locally for over 30 years and I love our area deeply – it has shaped who I am. I left a major party because I was deeply disappointed with its stance on the ceasefire in Gaza, the overdevelopment at Snaresbrook car park, the closure of Wanstead Youth Centre and just not listening to local concerns. I want to hold regular community assemblies to listen. I will be available to truly serve our home and bring back local grassroots politics.
