Charlotte Leslie covers the Lockleaze area of our community and she's lived in Bristol for almost 30 years. It's where she grew up, where she went to school and where her family live. So campaigning to serve Bristol North West is campaigning for her 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". charlotteleslie.com ______________________________________________
