We are devastated by Councillor Dave Bolwell's passing on Friday 6th March following a short illness. Dave was a tireless campaigner for our community, and a cornerstone of our local party. He will be greatly missed by everyone at the West Dorset Liberal Democrats.

 

I am incredibly sad about the passing of Dave. He was a brilliant and hard working councillor, and a tireless campaigner for the party. More than that he was generous, funny, and kind. I know he will be missed by all who knew him, and by residents of Bridport. My heart goes out to Bridget and the family. He will be sorely missed.

Edward Morello MP

The loss of Dave is felt very deeply. He was an important figure in our local party and I know he will be missed by his fellow councillors and the many friends he made in Bridport. Our thoughts go out to his wife Bridget and his family at this difficult time.

Wayne Bennett, Chair of West Dorset Liberal Democrats
