Same-week council diary puts Bristol, Somerset and Gloucester committees in parallel

Bristol City Council listed three meetings for Monday 14 September: Strategy and Resources Policy Committee and Downs Committee at 2.00pm, and Area Committee 1 at 5.30pm [1][2][3]. On the same Monday, Somerset Council listed Licensing and Regulatory Committee at 2.00pm, while Gloucester City Council listed Audit and Governance Committee at 6.30pm [4][5]. Bristol City Council meeting papers show agenda supplements were published for Area Committee 1 and Strategy and Resources Policy Committee on 14 September, including public-forum material [12][13]. The Bristolian singled out the Strategy and Resources Committee, saying it would follow Green council leader Tony Dyer's Full Council performance and framing the item as a "Pissed-O-Meter" prediction [6]. The pattern continued on Tuesday 15 September, with Bristol City Council listing Area Committee 7 at 6.00pm and Harbour Committee at 3.00pm, Somerset Council listing Planning Committee - South at 2.00pm, and Gloucester City Council listing General Purposes Committee at 6.00pm [7][8][9][10].
