Stephen Williams - Working for YOU in Bristol West

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. Since first being elected as Bristol West's Lib Dem MP in May 2005, I have been kept busier than I ever believed possible.

I've spoken to many constituents in my weekly surgeries - covering every possible subject, from dentistry to renewable energy.

I have met countless community groups and local organisations, along with public service chiefs and business leaders. I always thought I knew Bristol well, having lived here for 20 years - but you'd be amazed what more there is to learn!

It is an honour to be re-elected as the MP for Bristol West, especially with an increased majority. I am grateful to everyone who voted for me on May 6th and I am looking forward to continuing to work hard for Bristol West and representing you in Parliament.

This website contains a lot more information about my work, both in Bristol and in Parliament, the campaigns I am involved in, as well as wider news from the Liberal Democrats across Bristol West. It also allows you to:

• Register for free email updates about what I've been up to.

• Read my views on key issues.

• Send me your views on any local or national issue.

Best wishes,
