Mayoral Charities

BEN WALKER - MAYOR

I am honoured to be elected by the members of Bradley Stoke Council to serve as Mayor, following my year as Vice Chair to the Council and Chair of the Finance & Leisure committee. I look forward to all the challenges ahead and with the help of the council members, who offer up so much of their time to operate our council, we continue to help maintain and build the exceptional community that now exists within Bradley Stoke.

As a Town council, we are extremely lucky to have such a brilliant team of staff who are dedicated to the Towns smooth operation and continuous development.

It is my intention to build on the achievements of the council thus far with particular attention being paid to areas such as;

The consultation process for the proposed new office space requirements
Funding streams from South Gloucestershire
The development of community events in partnership with the Willow brook Centre
The 2nd phase of the Beacon Play Scheme

I would like to draw your attention to The Bradley Stoke Festival this year which will be as good as ever, packed full of events, stalls and acts over the weekend of 11th - 13th of June.

The annual Firework Display will also take place as it grows from strength to strength. Last year’s display was second to none in the whole of Bristol & South Gloucestershire and I hope we see you all there for this free and controlled event.

I am passionate about our council supporting the community in any way it can so a council, we are always looking for ways to improve and engage with the Bradley Stoke populous; so I ask that any group or individual wishing to do so contact the office or attend one of our meetings where we will be more than happy to assist.

My chosen charity for this year is the St Peter's Hospice based in North Bristol. It’s a very worthy cause, carrying out incredible work for the city and surrounding areas. As we all know the past couple of years have been extremely difficult for us all, none more so than charities like the hospice who depend on donations. May I ask that you support my charity as much or as little as you can by way of donation at any of the councils events over the next year to help the hospice continue the fantastic work they do.

Kind regards
Ben Walker
Mayor, Bradley Stoke
