WILTSHIRE and Swindon Liberal Democrats have switched their candidate for the re-run of the Wiltshire and Swindon Police and Crime Commissioner election in August. They have announced that Wiltshire councillor Dr Brian Mathew will replace their previous candidate Liz Webster who is not seeking the nomination for personal and family reasons. The re-run was called after the Conservative Party disbarred their candidate Jonathon Seed for the poll on May 6, saying that a 30-year-old drink driving conviction meant he would not be able to take up the post. The Thames Valley Police have been called in by Wiltshire Police to mount an independent investigation into the affair.
