Radley Russell
Liberal Democrats candidate for Edgbaston
I am so excited to be standing in the place I call home. This will be the first time I will be standing in the Local Elections - however if elected on May 6th. It will be a role that I will 100% be fully committed to. Over the last 18 months I have been enjoying campaigning/working hard here in Moseley to make a difference in my home area. I love living here in Moseley and I love being out there in the community being very active and engaging with residents. From volunteering litter picking (every Sunday morning) to helping set up a StreetWatch Team to speaking daily/weekly with local residents (completing a resident survey) to being part of the Community Residents Association Forum, as well as reporting on the issues that residents have raised to me, I feel I am ready to take it to the next level and represent you at Birmingham City Council.
