Ahead of the mayoral referndum on Thursday, May 5, Green party mayoral candidate Sandy Hore-Ruthven explains why the role of mayor should continue in Bristol
Democracy gives power to people and what better way to do that than give all Bristolians the power to elect the person they want to lead the city. When we vote for our Mayor we send a clear message about the way we want our city run. Whatever your priorities, education, climate, better public transport, libraries or jobs you can use your voice to make Bristol a better place.
Because the Mayor is voted for by the people they are answerable to the people. They have to keep our priorities in mind when deciding how best to run Bristol.
