Carla Denyer was elected as MP for Bristol Central in July 2024. Her background is in engineering and she was elected as co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales in 2021.
I’ll be holding my next advice surgery on Saturday 10 May 2025.
I’m here to help on a range of issues such as housing, healthcare, welfare benefits and asylum and immigration. Please get in touch by emailing a brief summary of your case to bristolcentraloffice@parliament.uk
Limited slots available per session for Bristol Central constituents only.
Carla moved to Bristol after university to work as an engineer. In 2015 she was elected as a local councillor, a role she was in for 9 years. In July 2024 she was elected as MP for Bristol Central with the biggest Green vote share in the country (24,539 votes, 56.6%).
In 2018, she wrote and proposed the first Climate Emergency declaration in Europe, setting an ambitious goal for Bristol to become carbon neutral by 2030. This bold initiative has since been adopted by 570 UK councils, the UK Parliament, and the Scottish and Welsh governments.
As a councillor and campaigner, social justice is at the heart of Carla’s work. Whether on renters’ rights or access to public transport and key services, Carla had consistently stood up for the people who need it the most.
Before entering politics, Carla was an engineer in the renewable energy industry, specialising in offshore and onshore wind energy. Working in the sector, she saw that the solutions to create a greener, safer future are already available; what is lacking is the will of our political leaders. The good news is that this is something we can change by electing more Greens at every level of Government.
Carla Denyer is more than a politician; she is a dedicated advocate for the people of Bristol, for green policies, and for social justice.
