Lisa Marie King
Green Party candidate for Batchley & Brockhill
Green Party
Dr Lisa, grew up in Redditch and is fiercely proud of its communities and green spaces. A biologist with a PhD, she’s now a scientist who works hard finding solutions. “I’m good at picking apart problems and I never stop searching for answers. On Redditch Borough Council, there would be no hiding a botched budget or nonsense decision from me!” As someone championing social housing and accessible green spaces, she wants to be a hands-on councillor, solving local problems and protecting Redditch for everyone.
