Charlotte Leslie - a local woman for a fresh start

I have lived in Bristol for almost 30 years. It’s where I grew up, where I went to school and where my family live. So campaigning to serve Bristol North West is campaigning for my home.

And there is so much to do. I have been campaigning for almost three years now to improve our children’s education; to sort out the mess of Bristol’s public transport, and to ensure that our young people are engaged in constructive activities like boxing clubs, other sport, drama and music – so that they are not out on the street causing anti-social behaviour.

Power to the Public
I have also been campaigning for the public’s voice to be heard: Whether it is in opposing the tragic closure of our local post offices, or for residents to get a real say in the future of our public green spaces.

Action not words
I believe that politics should be about positive action; not just words, not just promises, not constant negativity about other parties.

Honesty and transparency
The MP’s expenses fiasco has been appalling. We can only begin to rebuild public trust in politics if politicians are seen to roll up their sleeves and really serve their public in action as well as words.

And I have pledged that if I am elected as your MP, that all my expenses and receipts will be completely open to public scrutiny. I believe that being an MP is accepting a duty to serve the public – and that is what I intend to do.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch by going to the ‘contact’ section of my website if you have any issues, problems of concerns. I will be more than happy help in any way I can.
