In a referendum held in May 2012 the citizens of Bristol voted in favour of introducing a Directly Elected Mayor model of governance for the city. As part of the Bristol Festival of Ideas a new report providing the latest assessment of this important innovation will be launched at the Bristol Old Vic on 17 March 2020. Written by Dr David Sweeting, Professor Robin Hambleton and Dr Thom Oliver, this third Policy Report from the Bristol Civic Leadership Project will provide an independent assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the model of mayoral governance as implemented in Bristol over the last eight years.
Details of the launch are as follows:
Date: Tuesday 17 March 2020.
Time: 6.00 to 7.30pm
Location: Coopers’ Hall, Bristol Old Vic, King Street, Bristol, BS1 4ED
The launch is free but anyone wishing to attend needs to register with the Festival. Please click here:
