The PCC is elected to be the voice of the people and hold the police to account and to ensure delivery of an effective and efficient police service in their local area. Current PCC Sue Mountstevens, who worked closely with Bristol Women’s Commission is stepping down and one of five candidates will take her place.

We received the following responses from all five candidates Kerry Barker (Labour), Cleo Lake (Green), Heather Shearer (Liberal Democrat), Mark Shelford (Conservative) and John Smith (Independent)
