As the new MP for Bristol North West, Charlotte Leslie's first priority will be to focus on improving education provision

Charlotte Leslie has thanked the people of Bristol North West for electing her as their MP, and has announced that improving education provision in the constituency will be her first priority.

Speaking after the election, Charlotte said: “It is an enormous honour, and an enormous responsibility to be elected to represent my fellow residents in Bristol North West. There are likely to be tough times ahead, and unfortunately in life, there are no magic wands, but I will be working as hard as I can for our community here in Bristol North West.”

Charlotte’s main focus as MP will be education, looking to improve the schools across the constituency.

Charlotte also hopes to improve transport provision and continue the work she has already done with community organisations.
 
Charlotte said: “I want to solve the crises in both primary and secondary school places, as well as to provide investment to all the schools in Bristol North West in order to see real improvements.”
 
“In transport issues, we need to look at mechanisms to tackle First Bus’ monopoly in Bristol. I will also look to reopen the North Bristol loop line and get Henbury station back in use for local residents.”
 
“I also want to build on the work I have already done in helping community organisations set up alternative activities for young people, such as boxing classes in schools.”

Charlotte has many more plans she hopes to put in place soon. After recovering from the hard-fought election campaign, she is looking forward to starting work as MP for Bristol North West, where she has lived for almost all her life.
 
Although she wants to start making changes immediately in the constituency, she appreciates that some changes will take time to implement.
 
“There are so many things that need doing, and I want to get settled in, and sort out all the admin and logistics of starting a new job like this as quickly as possible so we can get going,” Charlotte said.

“Although change often takes time, I want to stress to all my new constituents that I will be working as hard as I possibly can in my new job, to to serve you, and our city. “
