Important to use your second vote! We’ve been badly let down by both main parties. I’m mixing my support for Green, LibDem and Independent in the #Bristol and regional #elections. Please support @bristoljerome AND @StephenRW01 4 Metro Mayor and @johnsmith4pcc as Independent PCC

Great final day of campaigning in Bristol! Speaking to lots of local business owners in East Bristol with Arif Khan. Amazing to see such strong and supportive communities. Also visited North Bristol with @SuMountstevens talking to people in Clifton.

Great to see the strong support for an independent PCC from both places! Key issues were female safety and visible policing which is something I look forward to focusing on if elected. To see more about how I would do this, read here: lnkd.in/dBSrYDf

Very sorry to see this. A peaceful protest with a small number then refusing to disperse and looking to assault police officers and horses
A Section 35 dispersal order was authorised following incidences of anti-social behaviour outside a premises in High Street #Bristol last night. 13 officers were assaulted after items including glass bottles & paint were thrown at them. Two arrests made. ow.ly/WyTa50ECJvI
It was off to #Portishead this afternoon to talk to local residents - it was beautiful by the Marina! There were concerns about breaks in to cars from local residents something I would raise with the local team if elected next week

I fully support the @The_Blue_Cross campaign against dog theft and would ask @ASPolice to do more to support this crime if elected next week
During the pandemic, dog thefts have risen by over a fifth. We’re encouraging candidates in the May elections to #takethelead on dog theft and do more to tackle this heartless crime. #dogtheftreform Join our campaign 👉 bit.ly/3uX8vyO
