Traffic is the biggest priority that needs tackling in Bristol, according to our pre-election survey.
A total of 317 people took part in our survey ahead of the local elections this Thursday (May 6), when people in the Bristol region will be voting in up to four elections.
In answer to what are the biggest priorities that need tackling in the city, 122 people (38 per cent) said it was traffic and transport connections.
It was followed by housing (52 people) and the environment (50 people), while 32 people (10 per cent) said the city's economy was the biggest priority.
A total of 298 people also answered our question on how they would rate Labour and Marvin Rees' time running the council and, out of seven, the average rating was 2.38.
Here are some of the comments people left when answering the survey:
One person wrote: "Though I am a Conservative, I really like the current mayor's idea for an underground railway.
"I have driven in many large cities, but Bristol is the worst I have driven in the UK. I prefer the carrot of good public transport to the stick of turning the city into an obstacle course for drivers because the stick option will only harm the local economy.
"And without a thriving economy, we have no money to spend on improving anything."
Another one said: "Protect and increase biodeverse green spaces. Drive down air pollution and provide some decent public transport."
"Not enough social housing is being built and has been neglected over the years," said another. "The need is now, not in the future."
And another reader wrote: "The attainment gap in the city between affluent areas and outer housing estates is one of the worst in the country.
"Areas like Hartcliffe and Withywood have the lowest number of young people going to further education in the country. Do something about it."
Local and mayoral elections were due to take place last May, but they were postponed at the beginning of the covid crisis last March because of the threat posed by the virus.

Also on May 6, the city will also decide what the make-up of the council chamber will look like as the 34 wards across Bristol head to the polls to elect the city's 70 councillors. You can see the full list of candidates for the Bristol City Council election here.
The Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and the Combined Authority Mayor for the West of England (WECA) elections are also on the same day - meaning we will be voting on four elections on May 6.
