Cllr Sadiq was a trained Domestic Abuse champion and pro-actively campaigned against violence & abuse in Slough. Shabnum cared about everyone and showed this through her dedication to Slough residents. She will be missed by the cause and by women in Slough who she helped.
Dearest All, I clicked with Shabs (as we knew her) straight away when we were both given a secondment to Customer Relations. I now understand why she was always busy on the phone where she was juggling 5 boys and councillor work with closing most cases. Always in top 3 ...what a woman We talked about our upbringings as well as how many people we ...

Muhammad Masud What a great loss to the entire family! “Shabbi “(as we would lovingly call Shabnum) was such a lively, happy cheerful person that she would instantly make any formal or informal event such a great fun to be there . Dedicated to her family traditions , very compassionate and full of empathy towards all . She came to Pakistan to attend a wedding in the family out of same love and care for her extended family in Pakistan and got very sick with Covid19 . Like a fighter fought this disease with courage for 24 days on ventilator and finally departed this world for a better world in Heaven. Shabbi !! You shall always be missed by us . Uncle Masud
I am saddened by the loss of Councillor Shabnam Sadique and pray that Allah SWT grants her a place in paradise and my thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time xx
Robert Tapsfield Cllr Shabnum Sadiq was not only a gifted politician, she cared deeply for the work she did, the community she served and, from our dealings with her, the children she represented. She was lead member for education and children’s services at Slough Borough Council at an important time in the Trust’s development, and her passion for children and dedication to seeing them all have the best opportunities in life will leave a lasting impression. Shabnum always showed a great interest in the work of the Trust and was very supportive of our efforts to improve services to children and families. Her knowledge of the local community and the wisdom she brought to any discussion was invaluable. Above all that, we will miss her smile and the enthusiasm she brought to everything she did. Her death is a huge loss to Slough, but most of all to her friends and family, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time. Robert Tapsfield Chairman, Slough Children's Services Trust
