He is very active in local voluntary groups and has run the London Marathon raising money for Voluntary Action Rutland.
Lib Dem Group Leader and Councillor for Uppingham, Marc Oxley, said, "Peter is an experienced local campaigner and councillor with many years of public service in Rutland. I am delighted that he is our candidate in the Uppingham ward by-election as he would put Uppingham first if elected on January 26th."
Grahame Hudson, Chair of Rutland and Melton Liberal Democrats, also welcomed the news of Peter's selection as candidate. He said, "Our current Lib Dem Councillor, Marc Oxley has campaigned and worked tirelessly on behalf of Uppingham and its residents for many years and it would be terrific to see Peter Golden elected to work along side Marc, putting Uppingham first."
