The role of councillors, employees, and how decisions are made

Mayor

At the annual meeting of the Council, in May of each year, the Council appoints a Mayor to preside over its meetings for the new municipal year.

The Mayor is the "first citizen" of the Borough and spends a very busy year attending functions and events and meeting local groups and individuals.

At Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ the office of Mayor is purely ceremonial and it does not carry with it any decision making powers.
