About the Surgery

Listening. Understanding. Practical action.

About Ghaalib Shahidullah

People, community and my neighbourhood are extremely important to me. I have been serving the Bethnal Green community for a significant number of years and now offer my private office to the public for consultations on various issues.

I am committed to listening, understanding issues and assisting where I possibly can. I will take a pragmatic view and give my advice and guidance, taking practical action wherever possible. Open for all.

The Community Surgery is intended to provide a straightforward and welcoming way for local residents to raise concerns, discuss problems and ideas, and explore what practical steps may be available.
