Redditch Conservatives are pleased to announce that the nomination papers have been submitted and these are your Conservative candidates for the 2026 Redditch Borough Council Election.

As we approach this crucial election, the choice for our town has never been clearer:

Labour is failing at the Borough: Under the current administration, we’ve seen a series of poor decisions on investment and a lack of clear vision for our town’s future. Redditch deserves better than just getting by.

Reform is failing at the County: Protest votes don't pave roads or protect services. We need serious representatives, not empty rhetoric. Reform have let the state of our roads in Redditch spiral whilst cutting needed investment and hiking council tax.

Only the Conservatives can be trusted: Our team of 9 dedicated candidates has the experience, the local knowledge, and the plan to get Redditch back on track. We stand for investment, ambition, low taxes and protecting our green spaces: Creating a town we can all be proud of.

Meet your candidates:

Chris Holz – Astwood Bank and Feckenham

Julian Grubb – Batchley and Brockhill

Alan Smith – Central

David Bowater – Greenlands and Lakeside

Kyle Wakefield – Headless Cross and Oakenshaw

Juliet Brunner – Matchborough and Woodrow

Karen Ashley – North

Finlay Heath – Webheath and Callow Hill

Anita Clayton – Winyates

Don't risk our town's future on parties that can't deliver. Vote Conservative for a stronger Redditch.
