Colin Burgon MP

Representing Elmet since 1997

Colin was born and brought up in Leeds and lives in the heart of the constituency.  Local issues have always been at the centre of his campaigning - a fact recognised by constituents who have now elected him three times as their representative.  In the 2005 general election, he was one of a handful of labour MPs to increase their majority.

Welcome to my website.

On the site you'll find a round-up of constituency and Parliamentary news along with an overview and history of the constituency of Elmet.  There's also a biography section, where you can find out something about my background and what got me interested in politics.  

In the Parliament section, there are links to various Government sites and through the Labour Councillors section you can contact your local Labour councillor.  I hope you like the new website and look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,  Colin
