Green capital controversy - we hear from the mayor, the chair and the former MP
Details of how some of the money spent during Bristol's year as European Green Capital in 2015 have finally been revealed.
Some of the biggest expenses included a bill for £49,000 on a foggy art installation on a pedestrian bridge, while another £63,000 was spent on a circus performance which celebrated the launch of the year.
It beat cities from across Europe to win what many insisted was a coveted title but ever since critics have argued whether the Green Capital race was one worth running.
Now, after months of argument and delay, what it cost the people of Bristol is being exposed.
Some figures raising eyebrows include:
Over £100,000 to plan and stage the opening ceremony which, as its highlight, featured a circus double act from Hollywood
£49,200 was spent on an art installation which sent fog over a bridge across Bristol docks
A hybrid solar-powered hot-air balloon, promoted as one of the most energy-efficient ways to travel, cost taxpayers £65,665
A life-sized whale made from wicker, which landed on the harbourside, cost £84,000.
£2,769 to give the Green Capital chairman media training
£3,146 re-printing passes
£12,000 setting up a waterfront shop dedicated to the project
£3,802 spent on pies and mash for one event.
Former Bristol West MP Stephen Williams championed the call to open the Green Capital books, something he says has only happened because the Information Commissioner told the city council they had to.
He believes people will be shocked by what they reveal.
This all happened on former Mayor George Ferguson's watch. He refused demands to give more detail on spending he oversaw.
The current mayor Marvin Rees has today, 7 June, ordered an independent inquiry, which he hopes will settle the argument.
ITV News West Country presenter Ian Axton put some of the questions about those invoices to Andrew Garrad, the Chairman of Bristol 2015 Limited - the company set up to run the Green Capital.

Green Capital supporters say its legacy will be felt for years to come. They'll hope how much to cost and won't be what it's remembered for.
