George Ferguson: Referendum 2022 (Bristol Ideas)

George Ferguson – the first directly elected mayor of Bristol – looks at his experience as a councillor in the 1970s under the committee system in Bristol City Council; his time as mayor, the challenges he faced and the opportunities he grasped; the role of the metro mayor and what this means for the Bristol city mayor; and explains why he thinks a renewed committee system will be better for Bristol, democracy and trust.

This interview is part of Bristol Ideas’ Referendum 2022 debate which looks at all aspects of city governance as part of ongoing work on democracy and the forthcoming May 2022 referendum. Find out more here: https://www.bristolideas.co.uk/projects/city-debates-referendum-2022/
