Broad Street Ward Aldermancy – Nomination Papers Submitted

Re-Elect Professor Michael Mainelli for Alderman of Broad Street Ward

Today I submitted my papers to stand for a third term as Alderman for Broad Street Ward.

Aldermen and Common Councillors are the unpaid volunteers who keep our community working. In tough times for the City, with fierce international competition among financial centres, more regulation, rising costs and tight budgets, these volunteers are vital. As the creator of the Global Financial Centres, Smart Centres, and Global Green Finance indices I know what makes cities work. Together we can make a success of our neighbourhood with a manifesto of:

  • safe streets – traditional policing, crime prevention, refuse collection, lighting, sensible licensing and traffic enforcement;
  • modern infrastructure – water, electricity, ICT, and transportation links, as well as WiFi, toilets, and bins, with robust defences against environmental damage and terrorism;
  • vibrant economy – fostering new and old businesses by setting policy and regulation that encourage new markets in the City and future success for the 640,000 of us already working here;
  • community spirit – ensuring excellent services for those in need while enhancing intellectual and cultural life;
  • competitive attractiveness – lobbying central government on better policies for education, taxation, and business, as well as promotion, to keep the City foremost in global finance, technology, education, and media.

My campaign motto highlights the City’s brainpower, attractions and traditional freedoms – “Bright Lights, Better City”. I am honoured to have the support of our three Common Councillors:

  • Deputy Chris Hayward (Chairman of Policy & Resources, City of London Corporation)
  • Antony Manchester (Blackrock)
  • Shahnan Bakth (Deutsche Bank)

My nominating voters are:

  • Peter Dunphy (Chief Commoner, City of London Corporation and Compliance Recruitment Solutions and New Broad Street Business Sales)
  • Elizabeth Corrin (China Construction Bank)
  • Ali Miraj (ING)
  • John May (Lothbury resident)
  • Deputy Chris Hayward (also a Lothbury resident)

My election agent is Trevor Brignall.

Please give me, Michael Mainelli, your vote by postal ballot (online or by form) or by voting in person on Thursday, 19 December 2024, at 12 Austin Friars, London EC2N 2HE from 08:00 to 20:00. I walk through the Ward every day to and from work and would be delighted to discuss Ward business directly with you. Contact me via email michael_mainelli@zyen.com, or by post to Professor Michael Mainelli, Chairman, Z/Yen Group, 1 King William St, London EC4N 7AF to schedule a call or meeting, or to make comments or observations.
