Bristol's mayor Marvin Rees made the comments in his final 'State of the City' address.
By Paul Barltrop & Jasmine Ketibuah-FoleyAn outgoing mayor has warned the city's new political system could present real risks when his post is abolished next year.
"The full measure of leadership is not a vote in a moment of time following an officer briefing, it is an ongoing relationship with all the moving parts. "The voice of the city must remain strong in the combined authority and shouldn't be diluted," Mr Rees said. "Let's not allow old failures to rob us of the ability to recognise huge opportunities when they're right in front of us," Mr Rees added.
