Bristol and Somerset councils set simultaneous September meetings as public bodies release autumn 2026 schedules
Bristol and Somerset councils have scheduled major committee meetings for the same hour, while Cotswold District Council, First Bus and Gloucestershire Hospitals published separate autumn 2026 calendars around the same period.
Bristol City Council has published an agenda for its Adult Social Care Policy Committee meeting on Tuesday, 1 September 2026 at 2.00 pm [3]. On the same day and at the same time, Somerset Council has listed its Planning Committee - East meeting [4].
The overlapping committee dates came as Cotswold District Council published a Cabinet Forward Plan covering September 2026 to May 2027 [2] and First Bus reported that Chelmsford services will be diverted overnight from 2 to 4 September 2026 because of roadworks on Duke Street, with the Cathedral, H&M and Job Centre stops not served in either direction [1].
Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it will hold a Renal Information Day on 24 September 2026 in partnership with the Gloucestershire Kidney Patients' Association [5].
