Cllr Boatright-Greene said: “It is a huge privilege to be re-selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for West Worcestershire.

Cllr Boatright-Greene leads the Liberal Democrat group on Worcestershire County Council and serves as cabinet member with responsibility for education, special educational needs and disabilities, and skills.
Raised in an Army family, he spent much of his childhood in Germany before working in archaeology, geology, and education.
He later taught at Worcester Sixth Form College and in inner-city Birmingham.
‘Revolving door at Westminster’
Cllr Boatright-Greene said: “People are tired of Westminster’s revolving door of leaders.
“They deserve representatives who focus on the issues affecting their everyday lives rather than the latest political drama.
“That means protecting our NHS and improving access to local healthcare, tackling the cost of living, helping businesses find the skills they need to grow, and ensuring that every child and young person can access the education and support they deserve.
“I will work hard every day to be a strong, visible, and accessible voice for every community across West Worcestershire.”
He has campaigned for improved access to NHS dentistry, greater support for residents facing the cost-of-living crisis, and better services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
