This month’s local elections have brought a huge shake-up at Bristol City Council.
When city councillors gather for their first full meeting since the elections more than half of the faces on the City Hall benches are new.
But they also talked about local traffic, air quality and the plight of a 120-year-old holm oak in the neighbourhood that had been in danger of being felled.
âBristol is such an environmentally and socially conscious place,â Fitzgibbon said. âItâs a place of protest culture and I think people have realised there are options outside the two main parties.â
Carla Denyer, one of the Green groupâs most prominent councillors, insisted this was no flash in the pan. âThis has been building, building, building,â she said.
âPeople have flocked to the Greens in droves because there is frustration in how the Labour administration has run the city, not moving quickly enough on the climate emergency,â she said.
