Mayor Marvin Rees fears Bristol could “outgrow” the city council because of “bun-fights”, dysfunction and a lack of action.
Mr Rees says the local authority is in danger of becoming an irrelevance as it is slow to get things done and dogged by political division, and there is a “gulf of difference” with the city office, which links up leaders of the main local institutions, such as police, hospitals and universities.
But opposition leaders say Mr Rees simply cannot take scrutiny or criticism from elected politicians at City Hall exercising their democratic duty to residents.
