Angeliki Stogia
Angeliki Stogia is a Greek-British Labour Party politician in Manchester.[1]
Background
Originally from Arta, Greece, Stogia moved to the UK to study European Studies and Languages at Manchester Metropolitan University in 1995.[2]
Political career
First elected to Manchester City Council in 2012, Stogia is a councillor for Whalley Range in Manchester. She became Manchester Council's lead member for Transport and Environment and was prominent in debates about transport policy in Manchester during the COVID-19 pandemic in England, proclaiming "we hope that pedestrians and cyclists will reclaim the streets of this city".[3] The decision to pedestrianise a stretch of Deansgate in May 2020 was attacked by Diamond Bus North West who claimed that the temporary traffic order was made to further the long-term objective of the Council to close Deansgate to traffic permanently. Stogia denied that the decision to settle the company's application for judicial review implied an admission of unlawfulness, but rather claimed "an unwillingness to risk further public money on the inherently uncertain outcome of a court hearing contesting the legal challenge which they brought when other bus companies were willing to accept the temporary closure." [4]
She then started working for Arup Group.[5]
Stogia stood for the European Parliament as a Labour candidate for the North West England in the 2014 European elections.
In April 2024, she was selected as the Labour Party candidate for the Chester South and Eddisbury constituency at the 2024 general election.[6] She came second with 32.1% of the votes.
Stogia was shortlisted as a candidate for the 2026 Gorton and Denton by-election.[7]
