With restrictions expected to ease as we head towards the Summer, listeners have been submitting questions looking at what has changed and what lessons have been learnt locally.

Somerset County Council

Leader David Fothergill and Public Health Director Trudi Grant have been asked about everything from support for cycling, to help with finding new jobs, whether this Summer will see a return of the usual Friday traffic jams in Somerset and what mental health support is being offered to children and adults.

Bristol City Council

Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees answers your questions on business recovery, the Clean Air Zone due to come into force in October, homelessness and the city's congestion among other things.
