Bristol City Council agrees political make-up
The Greens are the biggest party but lack an overall majority
An agreement has been reached over the political make-up of Bristol City Council.
The Greens, who are just short of a majority, will lead the council through Tony Dyer.
They will also chair six of the eight new policy committees.
Each party will hold vice-chair positions.
Tony Dyer is set to be voted in as Leader of the Council at the council’s AGM next Tuesday.
He said: “I am humbled to have been chosen as Bristol’s first Green Council Leader, and will do all I can to help tackle the challenges facing Bristol.
“Working with other parties and the communities that we serve, we can deliver on our promises and put social and environmental justice at the heart of all decision making over the next four years.
“Our manifesto promises hope and action on key areas that matter most to the city, like housing and transport. Turning that hope into action starts now.”
