Geoff King is the Liberal Democrat candidate for Western. Born and brought up in Swindon, Geoff went to Commonweal before a career as a scientist. Married with two grown up daughters, Geoff lives in Old Town and now teaches undergraduates in Management at the University of the West England. He has fought as a candidate in several Council elections.
Geoff says:
"I am amazed how the Tory Council continues to waste our money. For example, they are still replacing perfectly OK pedestrian crossing lights, while privatising social care, and cutting back services vital to the most vulnerable in our communities. I have asked the Council to explain their bizarre priorities, but no satisfactory answer.
Meanwhile Labour, having got Swindon into massive problems when it was in power, has failed miserably in opposition as well.
Our Council should be concentrating on our longstanding social, employment and infrastructure problems in the central areas of our town; less distraction with out of town developments such as the massive and unwanted housing proposals for Coate Water. "
