At this week’s Full Council meeting, the Bristol Liberal Democrats are putting forward a motion calling for a referendum on the position of directly elected Mayor. According to the latest Bristol Quality of Life survey, just 22% of Brislington West residents think the mayor is improving the city leadership.
We believe the people of Bristol deserve the chance to express their democratic right and if they so choose, scrap the role of Bristol Mayor. The current system puts far too much power into the hands of one person behind closed doors leading to waste, poor decision making, and a lack of scrutiny and accountability. The mayoral experiment has failed, and it's time to end the waste and return money and decision making to local communities and their representatives.
