Can the Mayor Help Me with a Problem?
It has long been accepted protocol that not only is the Mayoralty kept above the political arena but also that its incumbent avoids any contentious matter. For this reason the Mayor is unable to become involved in any individual problems or Council complaints. Any such matters will be passed on to the relevant council departments and the local Ward Councillors.
The Mayor does of course remain a Ward Councillor themselves and will continue to assist their own ward residents as they would normally.
