Cllr Rafick Ackbar
I was born in Mauritius. In 1969 I came to England and pursued a 40-year nursing career in the NHS, during which I worked in all hospitals in North Bristol. I have lived in Kingswood for more than 40 years and my three children attended local schools.
My passion in life is nature and the environment. I am a keen gardener and have a large allotment locally. Since retiring I have joined the Friends of Kingswood Park as a volunteer. Together with South Gloucestershire Council we have successfully applied to the National Lottery Fund for substantial funding for the improvement of Kingswood Park. We have also been instrumental in greening Kingwood Town Centre. My concern for the environment has seen me join other groups with whom I have been involved in many tree planting sessions.
My ambition for Kingswood is to see further improvements in our local environment, for a greener and cleaner environment would greatly benefit the health and well-being of residents and visitors alike.
