Stephen Williams MP - Working for YOU in Bristol West

Dear friend,

Thank you for visiting my website. Since being elected in May 2005, I have been kept busier than I ever believed possible.

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!

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

This website contains a lot more about what I've been up to and 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 weekly diary entry.

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

Best wishes,
