Bristol City Council

Bristol City Council touches the daily lives of practically all those who live in, work in or visit the city. Everyone who goes to a school, uses social services, travels on the roads, visits the local library, park or leisure centre, lives in a council house, uses the refuse collection service or has an interest in the development of their property or neighbourhood has a link with the council.

The city council is the elected government of Bristol. It has one overall purpose: to improve Bristol and the lives of all its people, now and for future generations. The city council runs a very wide range of public services. It is the only democratically elected body working for all the people of Bristol, and it is the city's principal advocate in the region, the UK and Europe. Increasingly, the council achieves its goals by working in partnership with others, including Bristol Chamber of Commerce and Initiative and local action groups.
