AHEAD of the upcoming Worcestershire County Council elections in May, Redditch Labour group has announced its candidates.
The eight candidates are Andy Fry and Jane Spilsbury for Central Division, Bill Hartnett and Jen Snape for East Division, Robin Lunn and Monica Stringfellow for West Division and William Boyd and Juliet Barker Smith for South Division.
Candidate Robin Lunn said: “The group have identified key issues for voters, from acting quickly to improve the state of the roads to increasing provision for SEND children in our local schools.
“We will be fighting to protect the future of Redditch, and speaking up for residents as we navigate through the devolution process.
“Redditch Labour Councillors work with the community – and we get things done.”
Redditch Borough Council leader Coun Joe Baker added: “We have had an amazing 12 months in control of Redditch Borough Council where the Labour group have delivered numerous manifesto promises.
“One of our first actions was to save Redditch Library from demolition, and to win more seats on the county council means we can safeguard this valuable service from Conservative threats.
“The local elections are a tremendous opportunity for local residents to build on our successes and put trust in Labour once again.”
The county council elections are being held on May 1.
