Hello, and welcome to the very first episode of Never Mind the Ballots. We kick this series off with a pair of political heavyweights - Bristol City Council’s cabinet member for housing, Paul Smith, and former Bristol Mayor George Ferguson. Hosted by political editor for Bristol.Live, Esme Ashcroft, Paul launches the show with an in-depth discussion on the history of social housing in Bristol and what role it will play for future generations. George talks about the impact of high-rise buildings in Bristol and what it might mean for the character of the city. Esme then rounds off the episode by asking the pair for their opinions on the controversial Metrobus project, which officially launched this week.
