The mayors of Bristol and Bordeaux – Marvin Rees and Pierre Hurmic – formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MofU) between the two cities as part of the visit to Bordeaux. This should see much closer links and working together on areas like trade, technology and the environment. BBP were consulted by Zoe Gibbon, Bristol City Council’s Twinning Officer, on the contents of the proposed MofU, which was also influenced by the MofU already in place with our fellow twinned city Hannover.
