A working group setting up Bristol’s new committee-run council will ask for views from the public this autumn about how the new model should work.
The cross-party group of councillors met last week for the first time to begin thrashing out details of how Bristol City Council should be run from 2024. In May earlier this year the city voted in a referendum to scrap the current mayor-based system, in favour of committees.
But it’s still unclear how the new committee system will work. The group tasked with figuring that out, called the ‘committees committee’, has 12 councillors from different parties and will be led by Labour councillor Helen Holland, cabinet member for adult social care.
