Candidate Profiles

We invited each by-election candidate to provide a 200-word first-person profile.

No particular format was specified, but we suggested covering the following aspects:

  • Something about your background and relevant experience
  • Your thoughts on issues affecting Bradley Stoke
  • What you hope to achieve should you be elected

From an article in the May 2021 issue of the Bradley Stoke Journal magazine (read it online).

My name is Angela Morey and I am running as your independent candidate for Bradley Stoke North.
I have lived in Bradley Stoke for seven years, it was my first choice on where to raise my family, great schools, beautiful nature reserve, friendly people. I have five children who attend the local schools, I’m a carer for my grandmother, who has been my inspiration, a woman who committed her whole life to charity and helping others.

I have been responsible for many local community projects, including being a school governor for two years, chairing the PTA for three years and founding the Bradley Stoke Families Facebook group in 2016, which now has over 10,000 members. I have been so proud to watch it blossom and grow – a real online local community, welcoming to all.

I would like to be your next councillor as I believe I have all the skills to be effective yet approachable. My hopes, amongst other things, would be to see a rejuvenation of some local play parks and, eventually, a community hub, open to all. I am genuinely a local person who loves her area and simply wants to see it thrive.

I’m a senior social worker, with further specialisation as a mental health practitioner. I have been working in the local health and social care sector for the last 15 years.

As a mother of three young children, I believe in respect, responsibility and wellbeing, and aim to keep our town safe and secure and free from anti-social behaviour. I will strive to work with all stakeholders to deal with anti-social behaviour within our community. I’m enthusiastic about community engagement and social harmony. I am committed to upholding positive social values within our community.

Bradley Stoke achieved a lot of progress and development, yet we have to achieve more to bring further community cohesion and connectivity. Bradley Stoke has the lowest council tax precept in the region, thanks to the Conservative-led town council. I will work together with our town council and will strive to ensure Bradley Stoke gets the best. With my professional skills and experience in working with the local authorities, I will be a strong voice and campaigner for our community.

I need your support. Please vote for me as your town councillor on 6th May. Together we can make the difference!

I was born and raised in the small village of Redruth to a Cornish tin miner father and a West African civil servant mother in 1985, I settled in South Gloucestershire with my wife and son and another on the way. I attended Truro School and subsequently gained a bachelor’s degree from Kingston University. Thereafter, I studied at Oxford Aviation and then the United States where I gained my pilot’s licence. My professional background is in the aviation industry which has enabled me to travel widely, which in turn has helped shape my views on domestic and global matters. I joined the Labour Party in June 2016, having decided to put my conviction and passion for social and economic justice into some political activism. I am a member of my professional union and believe that, by the strength of our own common endeavour more can be achieved for our communities at large. I am an avid sports fan who is happy to watch anything that involves competition and keeping a score. I am looking forward to working with the people of Bradley Stoke.
