Watch: metro mayor hustings

By Bristol24/7  Thursday Apr 6, 2017

Bristol24/7 hosted a successful hustings event for five of the six candidates standing for metro mayor.

This role involves a budget of £1bn and the devolution of powers, combining the local authorities of Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Bath and North East Somerset for greater autonomy.

The candidates answered questions from Bristol24/7 readers, including some that were sent in whilst the event was live streamed via Facebook.
