Bristol Mayoral referendum campaign
Download© Licensed to London News Pictures; Bristol, UK; 08/04/2022; The launch of the It's Our City Bristol campaign takes place at City Hall, formerly known as the Council House, in the run up to the referendum vote on 05 May on whether to keep or scrap Bristol's elected Mayor. The It's Our City Bristol campaign was co-founded by former mayoral candidate Mary Page and wants to replace the elected Mayor with a modern council committee system of local government. The current elected Mayor, Labour's Marvin Rees is standing down at the end of the current term of office. The It's Our City Bristol campaign has cross-party backing from the Tories, Lib Dems and Greens on the council and is supported by former Bristol Mayor George Ferguson who became the city's first democratically elected Mayor in 2012 and is now campaigning to abolish his former job, Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer, Samuel Williams former WECA and Bristol mayoral candidate, Cllr Jos Clark Lib Dem council group leader and former Bristol Lord Mayor, Nicola Bowden-Jones former Labour PPC and some local Labour activists. 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.
