Bristol’s electorate has spoken: the role of city mayor will be dropped when Marvin Rees finishes his term of office in 2024. It will be replaced by a committee system in which decisions will be ratified by groups of councillors rather than by a cabinet appointed by the mayor. Supporters of the change hope it will allow for a more democratic form of government.
In this 55-minute podcast, EG’s guests discuss how Bristol reached this point and what it means for development in the city. Will it slow things down or will it help pave the way for getting Bristol’s future growth right?

Jonathan Lambert, director, development, Savills Bristol
John Savage, executive chairman, Bristol Chamber of Commerce & Initiative
Christine Townsend, councillor – Green Party, Bristol City Council
