Liberal Democrats here in Wiltshire are welcoming the chance to put their plan for the county.

Wiltshire Liberal Democrats passionately believe that Britain is stronger in the European Union. We are the biggest, strongest anti-Brexit party and we have led the fight to stop Brexit for three years.

Just as important to Liberal Democrats in Wiltshire, is tackling the Climate Emergency. Our candidates are dedicated to cracking down on air pollution and investing in renewable energy, creating green jobs across the UK. This is a global emergency where working from within the EU is needed to lead on this emergency and protect our planet.

Former teacher, Andrew Bryant spoke in support of local parents whose children go to Larkrise school.

Andrew attended the Wiltshire Council Cabinet meeting last month and told the ruling Conservatives that their plan to close the local school was wholly wrong and harmful for our most vulnerable students.

It's time to demand better for Trowbridge. Our town has been ignored for far too long by the ruling Conservatives.

Under them, our town centre has declined, our roads are a mess and our schools don't receive fair funding, so our children are disadvantaged.

The Conservatives have cut our Police. They have abolished our Youth Service. Local, young families are struggling to find an affordable first home.

The Liberal Democrat group on Wiltshire Council have announced their new shadow Cabinet spokespeople, following their group AGM on Saturday 8^thJune 2019.

The meeting also saw the re-election of Ian Thorn as the leader of the opposition on Wiltshire Council.

Cllr Thorn commenting on the appointment of the new spokespeople said, "With less than two years to go until the next Wiltshire Council election, it is now very important to challenge the Conservative administration at every opportunity and these appointments will play a crucial part in doing so."

"I retired last summer. I now have the time to dedicate myself to working for residents.

My husband Graham and I have two grown up children and two grand children. We love spending time with them.

Previously I spent 23 years as a Trowbridge Primary School Manager. As a parent and grandparent, and having worked in education, I care passionately about families and children. All our children have the right to a first class education and to grow up in a safe and happy environment.
