Introducing your Liberal Democrat candidates for the upcoming elections in May 2026
Tahir, Tom and Colin are honoured to be part of the Gosforth community. Our area offers so much, from the High Street and park, to the fantastic schools and community facilities, which is why we are so passionate about campaigning for a fair deal for you.
Tahir is a lecturer, who lives locally with his family. Although he narrowly lost the last election in 2024, he has not given up campaigning for you, most recently taking on parking problems in Princes Meadow.
Tom is a familiar face to many, having represented parts of the ward since as early as 1997. He believes that the High Street is our greatest asset, and is a tireless advocate in the Council chamber for our retailers and hospitality providers.
Since settling in Gosforth, Colin has started a new family with his wife. He understands how important a thriving park, with a high quality play area, is for local families, which is why he has been putting pressure on the Council to deliver a good deal for our area’s green spaces.
