Liberal Democrats candidate stands for Lincolnshire PCC
Crime prevention over crime fighting

Liberal Democrats candidate and marketing project manager Ross Pepper is fighting for the Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) role in the May 6 elections and is putting crime prevention as a top priority.
Ross Pepper said the current “crime and punishment approach doesn’t seem to work” and he wants to look at the root causes of crime to prevent it from happening, claiming that “fighting crime when it happens is crucially vital, but crime prevention is equally as, if not more, important as well.”
Photos of all six PCC candidates l-r Liz Webster (Lib Dem), Jonathon Seed (Cons), Brig Oubridge (Greens), Mike Rees (Independent), Julian Malins QC (Reform UK), Junab Ali (Labour) Voters will head to the polls this Thursday (May 8) to decide who will be the next Police & Crime Commissioner for Swindon and Wiltshire. In the last in a series, we asked each candidate what they would do in the role to build good community relationships between residents and Wiltshire Police. Brig Oubridge, who is the candidate for the Green Party, said good relationships are built on trust, and through his proposed advisory panel – which would be made up of 50 per cent women with people of colour included – he would help present the whole community of Wiltshire.
