Amjad Abbasi has lived in Slough for 15+ years and even before he became a councillor he knew many people in Elliman from when he ran a business in Elliman Avenue. As a businessman and economics graduate, he campaigned for proper financial management to be restored to Slough Council.
As a community volunteer with the Royal Voluntary Service during the COVID pandemic, he knows how the importance of community engagement in a strong democracy. He was pleased to visit the dramatic “Knife Angel” statue at Arbour Park Stadium in January 2023, and supported the accompanying police campaign to bring the community together to stand against the dangers of knife and other violent crimes.
He was the highly successful Mayor of Slough in 2023-24 who attended a very large number of community events and visited many groups who have been doing valuable work in Slough.

Asim Naveed trained as a solicitor and enjoys living in the Elliman area of Slough. He now runs a local business, and believes it is important for elected councillors to listen to local people. In talking to many people in the Elliman area he has heard how they felt Slough's Labour-run Council not only terribly mismanaged the Council's finances, but also failed to consult properly. Since being elected to Slough Council in May 2023, Asim has been pleased to propose a successful motion at a meeting Slough Borough Council to encourage Slough Council to introduce a scheme to make developers pay a similar level of contribution to building infrastructure in Slough as they do in other local councils in Berkshire and surrounding counties. The details of this are in a story below.
Asim has also noted the local concern about the level of crime. He hopes to promote cooperation across all agencies and groups in the community to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour and secure more resources for local policing.
In 2024-25 Asim is serving as the Deputy Mayor of Slough.
