Visits and events.
Constituency events.
Darren runs monthly Café Politics and Pub Politics events in different venues across the constituency, which are great ways to chat informally with your MP. In addition, Darren sometimes organises larger meetings in community venues to address specific issues.
Local visits.
Darren visits schools, resident groups, hospitals, community meetings and local events. These normally happen on a Friday or a Saturday.
Please note, Darren is required to manage conflicts of interest between his role as a constituency MP and a minister. That means that businesses or other organisations seeking to lobby Darren about government policy or funding, whether directly or indirectly via constituents, must be referred to HM Treasury. Bristol North West constituents can continue to talk to Darren about any issues that are important to them, but this will routinely happen at either a monthly coffee morning, pub politics or other constituency event. Surgery calls are limited and therefore prioritised for constituents who are receiving casework support to resolve individual problems.
