Local Councillor Dave Wood (Lib Dem Eastcott) was also on hand to show the Party President some of his area, including Kingshill where Swindon Council have failed to install a long overdue crossing for local school children. She also gave her support to the Lib Dem campaign to oppose the massive increase in resident's parking charges in the area.
