Councillor Oliver Butler was a dedicated representative of the Willenhall North ward on Walsall Council since his election on May 3, 2018. As a member of the Conservative Party, he has actively contributed to various council initiatives, particularly in the areas of environmental management and community cleanliness.
During his tenure, Councillor Butler served as the Portfolio Holder for Clean and Green, where he spearheaded several significant projects. One of his notable achievements was overseeing the trial of an electric bin lorry, a move aimed at reducing noise pollution and promoting environmental sustainability within the borough. The trial demonstrated the viability of these vehicles and received positive feedback for their quiet operation and efficiency.
Councillor Butler has also been instrumental in community litter-picking campaigns, participating in the Great British Spring Clean and organizing multiple litter picks across Walsall, including areas like New Invention Square in Willenhall.

Another key initiative under his leadership was the development of a new waste transfer station on the site of the former McKechnie Brass factory in Aldridge. This project aims to modernize waste management facilities in Walsall and ensure compliance with future recycling regulations. The new site is expected to address operational challenges faced by existing facilities and improve the overall efficiency of waste collection services.
