Mayor or committee: what’s the referendum about?

By Martin Booth  Sunday May 1, 2022

What is Bristol’s mayoral referendum all about? Is the mayoral model or committee system more democratic? And which system delivers?

The answers to these questions are revealed in three new videos made as part of a collaborative project on change in local governance.

The videos have been produced by the Bristol Civic Leadership Project, a collaboration between researchers from the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol.
