Details on how Bristol’s new committee-run council will work are due to be revealed by the end of the year.
Major changes are coming to how Bristol City Council is run, following the referendum on May 5 when the city voted to scrap its directly elected mayor. But so far it’s not clear exactly how the new committee-led system will actually work.
A new working group of 12 councillors will soon be tasked with exploring how the new system should be set up, including what committees are needed, how other councils have transitioned to a committee system, and if there are any examples of best practices to follow.
