Olga Cash

Green Party candidate for Chorley South West

Active on State

Green Party

I am active campaigner in Chorley South. I am always out and about, speaking to residents and working hard on the things they tell me they care most about. I have had significant success in ensuring improvements to our streets and pavements. I live in Chorley with my husband. I taught languages and employability skills to young people across Lancashire for almost 30 years, and lead on big-scale higher education projects. I retired last summer and am now involved in a variety of local community building projects. For the past six years, I have been an active member of the Chorley Green Party team, working hard to get the best for our amazing town.
