The first of an annual series in which Bristol City Mayor George Ferguson looks back on an historic first year in office for the only independent elected mayor of an English
core city. He will comment on the state of Bristol’s economy and prospects for the future. The mayor will present a picture of Bristol, describing a city where vibrant places and passionate people contribute to a resilient local economy that is about so much more than purely fiscal matters. Reflecting on the many and varied conversations the mayor has had with people right across the city over the past 12 months, he will launch his vision for Bristol, ‘The best city in England’.
