Bradley Stoke’s First Family In Westminster

Brenda and Roland Cowley were in the House of Parliament to visit Filton and Bradley Stoke MP Jack Lopresti. Mr Lopresti invited the Bradley Stoke residents for Prime Minister Questions, a tour of the Palace of Westminster and lunch after reading that they were the first family to move in to Bradley Stoke over 25 years ago.

Mr Lopresti was interested to hear from the Cowley s how they thought Bradley Stoke had changed over the years and to talk about the local areas future.

Jack said:

“It was a real pleasure to meet with Brenda and Roland. They have so much knowledge of Bradley Stoke and it was fascinating to hear their perspective over how the area has developed and their hopes for the future. What I was really pleased to hear is that Brenda and Roland love living in Bradley Stoke and have great friends and neighbours. They are clearly part of a friendly, tight knit community and being the first residents they will have undoubtedly played a big part in that. ”

The Cowley s seemed to enjoy their day as well, saying:

“It was great to see the workings of Parliament first hand and Jack and his team made us so welcome. We really enjoyed PMQ s and were especially taken by how clear and articulate David Cameron was!  

We had such an exciting day, so much to see it was an education, so many things to absorb, memories that we will cherish. This has given us the appetite to visit London again and make up for lost time in understanding our country s heritage. ”
