I have organised collection for local foodbanks through the Church. I am a member of Christians on the Left and Green Christians. I have been involved with the Southern Brooks Archaeological History Group and Bristol Radical History Group. In my spare time, I love to read books, and am a member of the Bookaholics Book Club which meets monthly in Bradley Stoke, eating out, quiz nights, cinema, gigs, festivals, local history, walking, and am studying for a degree in Psychology with the Open University. During the COVID 19 Pandemic I worked in the NHS for Bristol Nightingale Hospital and help to set up a local COVID 19 support group in my neighbourhood. I am very much looking forward to helping anyway I can, the community of Bradley Stoke.

Being the first citizen of Bradley Stoke is something that really makes me proud of the town where I have lived for the past seven years.

I'm an 19 year old autistic law student and have grown up in Bradley Stoke for almost all of my life. As a young councillor and as an environmentalist, both young people's and environmental issues are my key issues. I am immensely grateful to be able to work with fellow councillors to tackle them and make improvements for the benefit of the whole town. Thank you to the residents of Primrose Bridge for electing me and if you have any concerns or suggestions then please do not hesitate to contact me through my councillor email address.

For over 9 years, I have had the pleasure of sitting on Bradley Stoke Town Council and serving you; our community. Being on the Council is something I enjoy a great deal, where I have a near-perfect attendance record for the 9 years, I have represented you on the Parish. I'm also your Cllr for Bradley Stoke South on South Gloucestershire Council, a new role for me that I'm plowing head first into. In my free time, I enjoy running and walking the dogs through the Three Brooks Local Nature Reserve, it keeps me active, and it is a great way to see what is happening around our town.

My name is Kulwinder Singh SAPPAL. I am a mechanical engineer by profession having worked for Fujifilm, BOC, Airbus, Bombardier and EADS Astrium over a 30 year period after completing my apprenticeship and BEng (Hons) in London. Living in Bradley Stoke for 22 years has given me a unique perspective on how to improve the lives of local residents: Being heard and making a difference to local communities initiated my interest in politics, being able to resolve people's problems give me a great sense of satisfaction. In my spare time I am actively involved in cricket and volunteer on a regular basis as a coach, umpire and also as a general helper at local and national sports events.

Bio:
My wife and I first moved to Bradley Stoke back in 1987 and watched the town quickly grow. Fortunately, both our daughters and their families live in the town. I was first elected onto Bradley Stoke Town Council in 1992 so I know the ropes and how to get things done. I want the Town Council to listen to residents and act on their behalf to improve the wellbeing of everyone in the town. I am passionate about wanting to help people and to support the community as best I can. I also volunteer for the Police at Patchway Custody Suite where I go to talk to the detainees and make sure their welfare is being supported.
