Ben Bradley
Green Party candidate for Headless Cross & Oakenshaw
A proud Redditch local, Ben’s worked in education for years and even taught English abroad, but now he wants to make Redditch more energy-independent. “With energy crisis after crisis, and now another conflict in the Middle East driving energy prices up again, it’s about time we create energy-independent homes. If we focus on building actually affordable homes with solar panels from the start, we’re creating a Redditch that can weather any storm.” Ben can be found either volunteering at his local library to run D&D groups for youth, or making fresh apple juice at the Headless Cross orchard’s Apple Day festival.
