There are lots of great things about Central Ward. It’s the buzzing centre of the city, with unique independent shops in the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter, Old City and Wapping Wharf, with expansive green space in Castle Park, and significant social housing provision.
Central also has its problems. Air pollution is a big issue for residents, with Central suffering some of the worst air pollution in the city. 90% of residents live in flats, which has made successive lockdowns even more difficult for many. And more than half of the ward live in private rental, often suffering exploitative landlords.
Ani Stafford Townsend was re-elected in 2024, alongside fellow Green Subusiso Tshabalala.

Sibusiso Tshabalala’s story is one of resilience and leadership. Once in temporary accommodation, he built a stable home for his young family and now uses that lived experience to shape housing policy ensuring social housing residents achieve better outcomes and services.
