Opinion: Bristol Council elections - back to the future

On 2 May Bristol citizens will vote, once again, for the councillors they want to see leading and running Bristol City Council. Those elected will, in line with the outcome of a referendum held in May 2022, introduce a committee system of governance. That's a decision that has already been made.

So, what does this mean for Bristolian's?

Two leading experts from UWE Bristol share their views on what lies ahead and offer their thoughts on the opportunities and challenges the newly elected council will face as they change to the committee system.
