Contact
The Mayor is chosen annually by the Council and fulfils two important roles: firstly, they Chair the meetings of Council; and, secondly, are the First Citizen of the Borough.
As Chairman of Council they are responsible for seeing that the meetings are conducted in a seemly manner in accordance with the Council's constitution, and carry a casting vote in the event of a stalemate.
As First Citizen of the Borough the Mayor acts as the principal ambassador of the Council and will attend around 500 engagements each year. This will include hosting annual events such as the Civic Church Service and the opening of the fair, welcoming royalty and distinguished visitors to the Borough, hosting receptions for local organisations, launching Council initiatives such as the Wildcard Summer Leisure Pass and visiting local groups and companies at their invitation often to mark a significant event such as the opening of a new building or the presentation of certificates.
