Investing in tomorrow's
City
GET TO KNOW US
We all live or work in the Castle Baynard Ward. We stood collectively for and were elected at the March 2025 Common Councillor elections - as independent individuals with a common aim. We are not a political party. We are supporting the work that the Alderwoman has been doing in our Ward to improve the conditions and environment for all the residents and workers who live and work alongside us. We believe that positive change will come if we unite and stand up for every resident and business that invests in our Ward. We intend to work hard and fight for improvements to our community and to our City.
