The upcoming West of England Combined Authority (WECA) mayoral election is drawing attention as high-profile candidates, including businessman Arron Banks and Green Party's Mary Page, enter the race. The WECA mayor oversees key regional issues such as transport, housing, and economic development across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, and South Gloucestershire. Candidate Steve Smith has sparked debate by pledging to halt funding for liveable neighbourhoods, a move that could reshape local transport policy. Ian Scott, a local councillor, is also in the running, adding to the diverse political field. The election, scheduled for May 1, is expected to influence the region’s future direction significantly.
