'Scrap Bristol mayor' campaign launches ahead of referendum

A campaign to scrap the role of Bristol Mayor is to launch this week ahead of the referendum next month.

Bristol will be going to the polls on Thursday, May 5, to decide whether to scrap the mayoral system after opposition councillors had a victory in City Hall in December 2021.

A majority of elected members of Bristol City Council backed a motion to hold a legally-binding second referendum to decide how the council should be run from 2024 onwards. The vote will take place 10 years after the first referendum, which created the post of Mayor of Bristol in 2012.
