Green councillors are calling for a universal basic income trial to be held in Bristol which would give free money to people in two groups.
They will try to get cross-party support in Bristol City Council for the idea and then lobby the government asking for a trial to be launched in the city.
Universal basic income is a controversial idea that involves the government giving free money to everybody with no conditions attached. This would cover the basic cost of living and proponents say would be fairer and simpler than the current system of means-tested benefits.
Greens have tabled a motion about universal basic income, which will be debated by the full council on Tuesday.
