Margot Bish
Green Party candidate for Greenlands & Lakeside
A longtime Redditch local of 4 decades, she’s had a varied career as a gardener, surveyer and worked in logistics. Her lifetime of experience is what sets Margot apart from the others, and is what would make her such a breath of fresh air for Redditch’s politics. “The dishonesty in politics needs to be replaced by people who care about the next generation and what their world will be like. By people who see saving taxes and avoiding waste and inefficiency go hand in hand. I think I can help with this.” Margot enjoys sailing, walking, writing, volunteering on nature reserves, and spending time with her cat
