Dr Brian Mathew is Lib Dem Wilts Police & Crime Commissioner Candidate

"Wiltshire’s Police Force is one of the worst-funded in the country. Drug crime, rural crime, online cyber-crime and pet theft have all increased while our police and communities have lacked the resources needed to prevent crime. Brian has been fighting for Wiltshire and Swindon for many years, having stood for the Liberal Democrats as a Parliamentary candidate in North Wiltshire for the 2019, 2017, 2015 General Elections. "

Lib Dems Call for a Review of Salisbury’s Traffic and Travel Options

The Liberal Democrats launched a campaign demanding an end to the traffic chaos in Salisbury in August 2020. A petition called for Wiltshire Council to dust off the debate about a bypass and to consult on the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists, whilst exploring opportunities to utilise Park and Ride sites. The Liberal Democrat local election campaign, which saw their numbers dramatically increase on Salisbury City Council and push the administration into No Overall Control, was centred on transport solutions for Salisbury.
