The Liberal Democrats have announced their candidate for the upcoming by-election in the St Andrews ward, Pershore.

Holly attended local schools and has worked in hospitality. She ran the Miller’s Arms on Bridge Street until recently and now works as a freelance artist.

Holly said: “I’m really excited to be running in this by-election to potentially join a team known for their hard work. As a resident of St Andrews, I want to make sure our town has the representation it deserves.

I’ve worked locally for my entire career and know how important our high street is for many of us who don’t drive. I’m looking forward to working with fellow councillors to support local businesses and ensure residents can access what they need, when they need it. As a former publican, I know how vital our hospitality industry is and will always support our local pubs and bars.”

County Councillor for Pershore, Dan Boatright-Greene, added:

“I’m so pleased Holly has agreed to stand for the Liberal Democrats in this by-election. She has some great ideas and will bring a fresh perspective to the council. Having spent much of her career in hospitality, Holly understands the challenges our town is facing and how the town council can support pubs, bars, and restaurants in these difficult times.”

The by-election will take place on Thursday 25 September 2025.
