The local elections 2022 have been dramatic. Bristol has voted to remove its mayor as an elected position, meaning Labour ’s Marvin Rees will be the last person to fill the spot.
The city was given a choice between maintaining the current mayoral position or replacing it with a committee system, where groups of councillors will be responsible for decision making.
The mayoral post in Bristol was created in 2012, but now just 10 years later the city will begin the process of transitioning away from the model once again.
