About me
My name is Brian Dalton. I was elected to Wiltshire County Council as a Liberal Democrat, along with my colleague Bobbie Chettleburgh on May 5th 2005, representing the vast Salisbury South Division - nearly 13,000 electors. I am also a Salisbury District Councillor, first elected as one of three members to the Harnham Ward in 1995, then elected in 2003 representing the newly formed West Harnham Ward, along with my colleague Murial Tomlinson. We were both re-elected in May 2007 with substantially increased majorities.
I am currently the Portfolio Holder (Cabinet member) for Community Initiatives, which includes our Swimming Pools & Leisure Centres, the Arts, and Communtiy Safety at the district council.
I have lived in West Harnham all my life. My parents were Married at St Martin’s Church and lived in Culver St & then Paynes Hill in the centre of Town, before moving to West Harnham in 1964. My grandparents (Dad’s side) lived in Devizes Road for almost 70 years. My Mum’s parents Albert & Ada Burton, lived in Culver Street, where they ran their own shop. The Burton Family have lived in this area for well over 200 years.
