Carolyn Harris MP for Swansea East

Standing up for Swansea East

Hello, and welcome to my website

 

I’m Carolyn Harris, Member of Parliament for Swansea East.

I have lived and worked in the constituency all my life. That might make me a little biased but I still say that this is a marvellous place with growing opportunities for business set-ups plus excellent housing and leisure & cultural offerings.

If you live here yourself then you will know that Swansea is the kind of city where you can visit the birthplace of Dylan Thomas and watch Premier League football on the same day.

​If you’ve never visited this part of south west Wales then you are most definitely missing out. Local MPs, AMs and councillors are working to bring new investment and employment to the Swansea Bay region. New university developments, creative industries and renewable energy projects are all contributing to a thriving local economy steeped in ideas and innovation.

​I am fully aware of the many problems facing families today. I’m here to help and my constituency office can provide advice on a wide range of issues, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.

​Make an appointment by calling 01792 462054 or use the contact page on this site. If you would like to know more about the locality then write to me at Carolyn.Harris.mp@parliament.uk.

What glorious weather we’ve had this week! Just when we had almost forgotten what a sunny day looked like, we were hit with a heatwave. While many of us may have enjoyed the opportunity to sunbathe, we must remember that heatwaves can be very dangerous. We must all remember to keep hydrated – even more so than usual –, slather ourselves and children in sun lotion, and keep pets indoors where we … [Read more...]
