Liz Mearns
Exec Member
Liz lives on the north-east edge of the constituency near Swindon. She is retired after a career as a GP in Swindon and later as a Medical Director in various roles in the South West of England. Liz joined the party after the Brexit referendum and has helped with canvassing and leaflet-dropping since then. She fills the rest of her time by sailing with her husband, looking after grandchildren, walking, playing the piano and volunteering as an advisor at Citizens’ Advice in Swindon. Liz is concerned about the missed opportunities of a closer relationship of the UK with Europe and the increasing rhetoric of the Right against immigration and the drift away from progressive politics of the current Labour government. Child poverty and the shortage and costs of housing in Swindon are a particular problem along with a fair green transition.
