A decision has been made on which eight policy committees will run Bristol City Council after May next year. Following the next local elections, the council will switch from being run by a directly elected mayor to a series of eight committees, with the details now decided.
The eight committees will be responsible for making major decisions about how the city’s public services are run, with implications from everything to climate action, flood defences and fostering. Each committee will likely have nine councillors from different parties.
The details of what the committees will be called and what they will be responsible for were voted on by the committee model working group. Questions still remain however about how much powers will be spread out away from City Hall and across the city.
