Helen Godwin is the new Mayor of the West of England, after being duly elected in the election on 1 May 2025.

I’m committed to bringing people together to get things done, across Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, and South Gloucestershire.

It’s my reputation in both business and politics, including working with Mayors from around the UK. This collaborative approach is how, together, we will transform the West of England’s immense potential into reality. I’ve started as I mean to go on, working cross-party.

My priorities are clear:

Reliable buses and trains that connect our communities
Affordable homes in the right places with essential services
Pathways to green jobs that power our future economy

As a local voice working with the Labour government, I’ll work to secure the investment our region deserves.

It’s the start of a new chapter for the West of England.
