Kath Manning
Green Party candidate for Matchborough & Woodrow
Green Party
Having lived locally in Redditch since 2006, Kath’s spent years working in the sciences of many fields, making her not only an expert when it comes to taking on a variety of challenges, but also someone with the knack to get things done. “I like the Green Party’s democratic nature and policies, and was motivated by my late husband, a stalwart member and inspiration. I was also inspired by our recent Green victories, as it gave assurance they we can actually win.”
